Just brought home my NEW Mustang III today. It plays very nice outside of the box. Then I was going to install the newest 2.1.0.8 version of FUSE. It took 45 minutes to download and then nothing. I have Windows XP and plenty of memory on my laptop. What am I doing wrong? I want to feel the fury of FUSE. Hep a old Bluesman out please. :mrgreen: I put in the Disc that was included and it sent me to the support page. So I did the recent upgrade I'm presuming, and nothing. Also am I supposed to have the USB cable connected to the amp On/ or Off when the software is downloading? I'm sure its something very easy to do. Please help me get the FUSE going. Thanks..
Regards,
Michael

Install Fuse without the amp connected - I installed it before I had the amp to see what it was about.

Click Save when you download it, not Run. Then double-click the saved file and follow the prompts. Did you get any messages when you tried it?

Hi Michael, it's hard to guess based on what you've said. Did the download complete? How did you run the installer? Were there any error messages along the way?

For installing FUSE there's no need to have the Mustang or cable connected.

PITA

When I clicked SAVE it started downloading as I said for 45 minutes to load. After it loaded I had the prompts to FINISH. After that NOTHING. Isn't it supposed to open as soon as it was done? Isn't there supposed to be a icon on the desktop? Do I have to use the disc everytime I need to use it? Very confused why this isn't working. I wish a FENDER moderator would give me some help.....I just spent my money on their product yesterday and would like to use it...Thanks

Hey BB,

When you download the fuse software off of the site, after the download completes you still need to open the file to start the setup process! (unless you already did that)

If you did run the fuse setup you should have something in the start menu.

If in doubt, download and run the program again. You might also want to check that your computer meets the system requirements on this page http://www.fender.com/support/articles/ ... n-download

Search your computer for "FenderFUSE_FULL_2.1.0.8.exe". If you find it, double-click on the file to begin the installation. If the file is not found, the download did not complete and you will need to attempt to download it again.

You don't need the disk to start FUSE or even download it. You can down load the latest version of FUSE from this page:

Make sure you have Internet Explorer 8 on your computer. After installing Fuse on my computer I just got a black screen. I installed IE8 and it works fine now.

What did you have to do to make it work? (for others who are having problems) :)

Kinda embarrassing :oops: I assumed that there would be a icon on my desktop. It was in a different folder. No problem. Just wondering though, can I put the FUSE icon on my desktop for easier access? Thanks.

Yes. Click on Start, then All Programs, then RIGHT-CLICK on the FUSE program shortcut you find there and Send to Desktop (left-click).

Have fun!
Bob
