You can run this in XP mode if nothing else works. You can download the XP mode software to run on Windows Pro if you don't have it. If I remember correctly, I had to do this a few months ago when I wanted to rerun the Keyspan config software. It wouldn't run on Windows 7Pro but would in XP mode. allenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115958600985572300.post-11362106556837490712012-01-03T22:31:02.307-07:002012-01-03T22:31:02.307-07:00Comment on my post of this article on the Yahoo As...Comment on my post of this article on the Yahoo Astroplanner User Group from Steve: I don't have your issues but I can say that you need to be sure your drivers for all the adapters are Windows 7 approved and when you install programs<br />with Windows 7 make sure you right click and choose "Run as Administrator".<br /><br />Forget the fact that your account has administrator privileges as this doesn't matter here, you need to "Run as Administrator" to install and then sometimes use "Run as Administrator" when your first execute the program. <br /><br />If you've done all this I have no idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115958600985572300.post-64243914865820144052012-01-03T22:26:33.432-07:002012-01-03T22:26:33.432-07:00Comment on my post of this article on Cloudy Night...Comment on my post of this article on Cloudy Nights forum: Man! I am in the same boat. Got a new laptop with Windows 7 64bit, for Christmas, and have been trying everything to get connected since then. My LX200GPS was connected from the Meade thru the RS232 to the adapter to the Radio Shack serial to USB cable to a USB 2.0 hub to my old XP laptop.<br /><br />I've been download drivers and new ASCOM 6.0. Nothing works. The ASCOM diagnostic does not see any COM PORTS? I've dowmloaded Meade the serial to USB driver, nothing, plus other updates, nothing.<br /><br />Like you maybe someone else has had this problem and knows the solution, otherwise it's back to XP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
