if your drivers are good then make sure you've got the right serial port selected. i may sound stupid but every time you plug a usb -> serial converter into a different usb port it adds another serial port and hides the old one but does not remove it, so if you want to stick with the 1-4 range you'll have to do some shuffling in device manager.

(i love the way M$ release software that just works. why cant it work WELL?)

Usb to Serial

Your cable should have come with a driver, and if it didn't, you should try to find one on the internet. The driver will create a virtual serial port, usually >1-4. Just select this port in RR and it should work

USB TO SERIAL PORT PROBLEM

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:11:00 EST

hi guyz fist of all.I appreciate for letting us to use a such a great program like roborealm for our ssc 32 card in order to control our servo motors. the problem we encounter is that the input of our ssc 32 card is a serial port which made us to use male -female serial port cable and a usb to rs232 converter to connect it to a laptop from its usb port.The idea of using a converter was because of diffuculty of finding a serial ported laptop or a PC here in Turkey.But at the end we couldnt send signals to our card by using roborealm by using the converter.Are there any solution to this problem.
best regard.
