Config Software won't communicate with the board

I have an Aerosky 100. I have the config software loaded and working on my Win7 64 desktop. I've confirmed the drivers for the board have loaded and are under Com 10. When I click "start" the line comes up on the graph but doesn't move with I move the copter. Also when I click "read" I get no data. First question, I can't get the Win7 64 config software to open so I'm using the 32bit version. Is that OK? If so, what should I be checking to get the Setup software communicating with the board on the copter? Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Right now the Quad will fly but very unstably. I"ve tried to auto-calibrate the unit per Aerosky's instructions but it seem to change nothing. "Motors locked, left stick bottom left, right stick bottom center".

Hi!
First, yes it is ok to use the 32Bit version of Multiwii GUI.
Wich version of multiwii does your copter flight controller use?
You may try to download the latest release of multiwii ->
http://code.google.com/p/multiwii/downloads/listNow you have to configure it for your copter ->
http://www.multiwii.com/wiki/index.php?title=Config.hOptional set LPF to 42Hz for you gyro, this may reduce unwanted wobbles.
If this all is done, you may start Multiwii GUI.
Keep in mind you have to use same version of MultiwiiGUI as you uploaded to your flight controller to be successful.
Greetz,
Noc

"You may try to download the latest release of multiwii ->
http://code.google.com/p/multiwii/downloads/list" This is indeed the link I downloaded the configuration software from
"Now you have to configure it for your copter ->
http://www.multiwii.com/wiki/index.php?title=Config.h" I don't see a Confg.h file in the unzipped files or any file that look like this.
Also, when I first plugged the board into the USB port it could find no drivers. I had to do an internet search for the CP210x USB to UART bridge and load those drivers, which apparently worked because it looks happy in Win Device Manager now.
I really appreciate the help! Very frustrated with my first Quad Copter experience. I thought this would be easier than Cyclic Helis. So far, not.
