[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 697725, member: 176362"] If the software is looking for a com port (normally com 1-4) you may need to change the allocation of the com ports - the usb ports are often numbered 5 upwards - no good for software looking for 1-4! I had exactly this problem when I got my little weather station a couple of years ago, the thing came with a usb to rs232 converter and it took quite a while of intricate fiddling with settings to get it to work......
