Could do...

Some people at work have to use a usb/serial lead, under Vista sometimes the lead doesn't seem to work with the supplied software.

The way we've managed to make them work, is as follows:

Unloading the driver for the lead.

Search for the adaptor lead driver folder and delete.

Suggest you unload EAS Software ( have had to do this with the works software at times might be the way its setup? May not be required with EAS program)

Restart the laptop plug in the usb/serial lead once Vista shows a new device, go via control panel>system>hardware manger>usb> highlight the Usb/Serial lead and update driver from vista o/s downloads, do not use the supplied drivers.

Reload EAS Software.

Don't know if Vista gets confused or the supplied drivers are the problem.

Doesn't seem to be a problem under XP.

I'm fairly sure its not the EAS software, but the way Vista installs the driver for the adaptor lead, my brother in law spent hours trying to get his usb/serial lead to work, make sure the system manager sees the usb/serial lead before installing the EAS program.
