Re: Windows 10 - Hercgui wont power on

I did guess you'd either not configured HercGUI, or just had no Hercules 
itself installed :)

I'm sure Fish would be delighted if you did that.  His website is here:

Personally, I'd recommend you buy HercGUI and CTCI-WIN as a minimum, but 
you can read about the other products of his here:
