Please log in for more thread options currently i use a 4 Port RS232 PCI Card from moxa (CP-104UL) for time critical periperial controls. The latest driver version 1.15 solves a "2. Fixed Power mangement while reopening port" Problem. But i cannot install this driver on my WinXP SP2 machine (no driver found). So i need a recommendation for a 4 Port RS-232 Card with "no time critical communication bugs/problems" Please Help! | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options If you link to this driver download, perhaps someone can take a look at it and see why WinXP isn't *finding* it. Well, nevermind I found it here, http://www.moxa.com/support/resource_result.aspx?r_type=1,2,7,8,9&dr_id=1&dprodline_id=22&dprod_id=360 "WIN2K_XP_2003_Vista_x86_V1.15.zip" It appears to have the same general files as the prior version, how have you tried to install this? Have you manually browsed to it or used some other alternative method of selecting the INF file when browsing to update it? If worst comes to worst, you could just manually copy the files to their respective locations (which you could find using Find-Files for each filename), possibly needing to turn off windows file protection and/or first overwrite the backup file location (also found with Find-Files) so that when you overwrite the primary copy windows won't then restore the older version. I can only assume this will work as it usually does but just in case the driver has some problem and would make windows crash, you might first make a backup of the OS partition or at least a restore point, though I would hope even in worst case the system might boot and run in safe mode for driver removal if it didn't work. Incidentally, Moxa's support should be able to tell you how to get the driver installed or if it has a problem installing, should be informed of this so they can correct the problem. | |||||||||||||
