Then the system has no serial ports defined.
The K3 shows up in Device Manager under Win 7 (IBM laptop) as a sound
device, a USB hub, and a xx232... other device
Where does the "other device" appear - what section of the Device
Manager "Devices by type"?
You should see the USB Hum and a "USB Serial Converter" in the
"Universal Serial Bus controllers" section and "USB Audio CODEC"
in the "Sound, video and game controllers" section.
Select the "USB Serial Converter", click the Advanced tab and
confirm that "Load VCP" is checked.

Helping a guy install a KIO3B in his K3 S/N 4xxx, I'm unable to see it
listed as a COM port in K3 Utility. The connection is via the new USB A-B
cable. The K3 shows up in Device Manager under Win 7 (IBM laptop) as a
sound device, a USB hub, and a xx232... other device (I don't recall the
exact nomenclature.) but this version of Win 7/Dev Mgr doesn't display COM
port numbers and has no PORTS entry in its list of things. Even Properties
shows no such info. We downloaded the latest K3 Utility 1.16.7.25 but it
shows a blank COM port list. The K3 is running uC 5.50, d1 2.87, FL 1.25.
We confirmed that K3 Config Menu displays KIO3b and set RS232 to Usb. Any
idea what we missed?
Thanks & 73,
