  • Hello,

    The Black Widget is a newer model widget. It should be compatible with any of the three versions of Hog PC. The Blue Widget (depending on age) may only be compatible with Hog 2PC unless it was upgraded to be compatible with Hog 3/4PC.

    Hog 2PC was not officially supported beyond Windows XP. Having said that, I have run the program on Win 7. I have never tested with a Widget.

    Hog 2PC installer as well as the Widget drivers were only for 32-bit systems.
    Hog 3PC installer and Widget Drivers were 32-bit until Version 3.2.x software versions. After 3.2.x they became 46-bit compatible.

    If you need to run Hog 2PC and Hog 3PC, you will want to stay on Hog 3PC v3.1.9. And for Hog 2PC, I recommend Win XP.

    Hope this helps,
