It is a NetMos pci card with two serial ports on the back. Win 7 automatically recognized it as a NetMos and assigned drivers. When I try to update the drivers using the CD that came with the board, Win 7 refuses and says that the most current drivers are already installed. A search on the NetMos site shows no downloadable drivers but rather links to third-party companies that either charge for the drivers or force you to download their driver monitoring program. I may have to bite the bullet and pay a few bucks, although I have a feeling that what I download will be the same as what is on the CD already. The ports work fine with Vista.

Is the serial port you are trying to use now USB To Serial? What chip set does it use? Do you have the latest drivers from the chip set manufacture for it? 73 de Tony, KD4K -----Original Message----- From: Stan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2009 11:42 AM To: [email protected]; 'Tony Cash'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Dxbase] Configuration Data? Tony and Oystein, Thank you. I put the dxb2007.ini file in the Windows folder and got some of the config settings, but not color or layout. However, I just configured it manually again and it didn't take too long. I tried the DXB Driver Setup and designated XP, but Win 7 is still not seeing the serial ports. When I boot up the same computer with a drive running Vista, it sees the serial ports just fine. So, I guess I am going to have to look around for a serial port pci card or a usb to serial converter that works with Win 7. 73, Stan W4AG -----Original Message----- From: Øystein Stokkeland [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2009 11:15 AM To: 'Tony Cash'; 'Stan'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Dxbase] Configuration Data? There are also info in the registry that are part of the installation setup. For the second on com-ports, have you executed 'DXB Driver setup'? choosing XP setup. 73 de Oystein LA7QI ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
