Did you do that? Once that is done, in your computers device manager, does the LOR port show up? What com port is assigned?D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lights4fun Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 when i put the disc in the screen that the book shows is not the screen i get. it comes up like it is in "my computer" and it shows three files and troubleshooting PDF files. not sure witch one to open. I went to device manager and all it shows is a printer com port. really confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sounds like auto run is not enabled. Thus the setup or install file is not running. Lights4fun, what files do you see? Do you not see either a "Set-Up or Install" file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
