Howard:
Believe me, I'd avoid Windows 7 if I could, but my University is pushing
all of us into it, so it's not going to be a matter of choice for me much
longer.
This is why I tried to get the jump on things with the Windows 7
laptop--could be used as kind of a learning machine, plus a computer to take
when needed on travel.

>> Hi, folks.
>>
>> Well, a sighted ham friend of mine just left here, after spending roughly
>> two hours trying to get the ARCP590 software working with my new Windows
>> 7
>> laptop.
>>
>> The program seems to be there, but will not start.
>>
>> As far as we can tell, the virtual comm port u s b driver software is
>> installed and is working.
>>
>> We have menu 61 in the TS590 set at 9600 baud, menu 62 set at 9600 baud,
>> and
>> menu 63 set at U S B.
>>
>> What we have concluded is that there seems to be some sort of
>> incompatibility or conflict between the laptop and the TS590.
>>
>> In addition to the ARCP590 software not starting, there are two other
>> things
>> making us come to this conclusion:
>>
>> 1. There is an "unknown device" that keeps showing up even after
>> attempts
>> to uninstall it. Our theory is that the unknown device is the TS590
>> itself.
>>
>> and
>>
>> 2. Whenever we plug my USB cable into the computer, Jaws goes away.
>>
>> If anyone has any suggestions as to what we may try to resolve this
>> incompatibility so that the ARCP590 software starts properly, please let

>>
>> I've considered posting this quiry to the TS590 list, but figure it'd be
>> best to start here.
