You have more of a windows issue than a Datamster issue..

Check your installation and your drivers or so and restart or upgrade to a different OS. I recommend winxp..

Check the AKM website, Andrew has some information on torubleshooting serial port problems. Also, look in the datamaster manual, there is a section on solving communication problems.

I agree with Highlander, this is most likely a PC configuration issue. Check the windows device manager under "Ports" and look for disabled ports of conflicts. You may also have to go into the PC BIOS Setup and enable a port if it is turned off!

HTH,
