Initialization failed - error code -3
I can't get the ReadyNAS Remote to work on Windows 7 Enterprise Ed x64 (it worked perfectly on another XP x86 machine of mine). The suggestion to load Leaf ontop on Remote I found on this thread......
Hi guys
This worked for me, so I thought I would share. Thanks maxkomlev! But, I also did one more thing. I have 64 bit Win 7. The program was looking for fwleaf.sys when it installed and I had pointed it to the location: "C:\Program Files (x86)\NETGEAR ReadyNAS\Remote\adapter". After installation, I got the Error 3 message. Then I realised there was a subfolder "x64" in this folder with another version of fwleaf.sys. I selected this one after doing the register change below and the install worked. Hope it helps some others.

Windows 7:
Let's try to do this:
Find in system register,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\MaxNumFilters
and
1) increase current value for 1
2) reinstall ReadyNasRemote client.
