no com port available

[sandraw]

I am trying to install editor and when i try to set COM port they are all ghosted. 5 has a dot in it but 4 shows on the editor screen with a red dot. Any help for a greenhorn?

Hi there;

It sounds like you haven't installed the driver for the Procyon yet.

What number comes up on the Procyon display when you power it up? 1.7.x or 2.1.x ? (x is any number)

and i dl'ed procyon avs 1 7 22
using windows xp pro

Hi Sandraw;

Please read these instructions and follow them carefully. Let us know if that doesn't fix the problem.

Andy, I so appreciate your quick help and willingness.

I delted all procyon files I had previously downloaded, unzipped and messed with so I could start fresh and follow your instructions.

I downloaded 1 7 22 and unzipped it. did the setup, browsed to procyon folder and opened editer. I did not get the option to unzip any other files. The editer just opens.

Hello again;

Sorry for all the trouble. I assume you're speaking of step #8? If that window doesn't come up then somehow the driver install failed the first time and now it thinks it's installed even though it hasn't.

Open up the folder "C:\Program Files\Procyon AVS" and look for a file called "TI_TUSB3410 Driver Installer.exe".
Double-click that file then continue following my instructions from step #10.

Hopefully that works for you. Let me know if it doesn't!

-Andy.

Andy, I followed instructions to step 13 and this is what my folder looks like

tempTUSB folder
DAS_off_bit.raw
factoryos.pr2
prcyn1741.pr2
procyon1_7_22
procyon.in2
procyon_log_0.prl
procyon_log_1.prl
st6unst
TI_TUSB3410 Driver Installer

I thought maybe that was close enough and plugged my procyon in and turned it on. No new hardware found wizard. rebooted computer. still now hardware found wizard.

I really hate to be a pain but you are so knowledgable.
Thanks, Sanda

[sandraw]

I think we did it! Got a green dot next to com 3 on editor. Will give it a go and recommend you as the best techie I know. Thanks a big bunch.
