Is there a functional problem with the HPComm program and the windows XP? Has anyone been through this yet? Is there a way to make it work?
Please let me know.

I think there is something just functionaly wrong with the program, period.

I was using win98 at the time but don't think that would matter. I would try and backup and it would upload all the data and promptly crash. Leaving me without a backup file. I guess my data is in the null bucket.

I tried atleast a dozen times. I rebooted. I tried different settings. I made sure nothing else was running that might use the port. Finally I gave up in disgust.

I rebooted one last time, went into Linux this time and used C-kermit. Worked without a hitch and I now have a backup of my calc.

Whomever wrote that "software?" should have all there calcs taken away and stomped to dust in front of them. And they shouldn't be allowed to release anymore of there software to the general public. pure crapware.

Hi;

Which version (PC Connectivity Kit) is the one you`re using?

I connect both 48 and 49 with a PC running PC Connectility Kit, release 3.04 (if I am not wrong), undr Win 98. I am test-driving Windows XP and Windows ME. Now I`m curious about it.

I`m testing and posting something later.

Best regards.

Hi,

I never experienced any problems with the HP connectivity Kit r3.04b2.

I used it with win98/98SE/ME/2000 and now with XP. It never let me down.
