Hi Anton,
It is quite possible that your VMWare settings are incorrect, or the version of Windows you are using is not the latest. The device driver supports both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. What is the device showing up as if not "LDC1000EVM"?

We would recommend using Win7 as the host system.
Thanks,
