If mine was attached to the system at boot, Windows XP thought it was some
kind of serial mouse -even when I was going through USB/RS-232 adapter.
Try disconnecting, reboot, then hook it back up and run the software.
To "fix" Windows so that didn't happen again, I booted with it attached,
disconnected so it didn't make my mouse cursor jump around, and then went
into device manager and disabled the new device which showed up as some
type
of mouse.

I got one of the Chinese Tbolts off eBay and when I powered it up and ran
Tboltmon, I got nothing. I checked the com port and it is correct. I am
using a USB to serial converter but I don't believe that is what the
problem
is since I have used it to program some Motorola radios that have a
reputation for being picky about their serial connections. I will try a
standard serial port but are there other things I should look at? I did
look
at the manual but didn't see anything that might help. This is my first
experience with Tbolts. I already have a Z3801 and recall having some
problems getting it to talk. Any help appreciated.
