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 me 
know.

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