No problems with Windows 10. * If you are using USB-serial adapters use FTDI based devices and turn off 'Serial Enumeration' in the advanced properties in Device Manger - stops the data being used by Windows as Mouse data. This is also a good idea for Win7 and earlier. * Use a

Hi There are multiple possible issues: 1) Most (like 99.99%) new laptops do not have a com port, that gets you to some sort of external port 2) USB is pretty common, but as mentioned in another thread, ethernet and bluetooth are also quite possible. 3) Since it is an external bus, the

Neville, I set up a shortcut to run Lady Heather on my Windows10 system, an old IBM ThinkPad. Here is the exact "target" command line I use in the shortcut to Lady Heather: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Heather\heather.exe" /4 Be sure to use the quotes exactly as they appear above before "C: and
