Hello Rick, Welcome to Geekzone Smile

Take a look at this: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=84&topicid=39124 as it should be what your after, all those USB to Serial chipsets work the same way, it just creates a port usually at Com 11 or 12 of which you can use as any other RS232 port.

It seems looking above you have the port config wrong, Com 1 usually reflects to either a physical RS232 port or just one present on the Northbridge, a good place to start would be to go into your Bios and disable the serial port if you do not have one on your motherboard, then again, most motherboards have the headers for these.

Next step, get a terminal program such as Putty or Minicom, and test the serial port, is data transmitting over it?

Seeing as I do not run Windows myself, and havn't done for many years, I am not too much help anymore when it comes to "Windows Support" - But as I understand if you go into device manager and find the USB / Serial cable, there should be a port number beside it.

NewCS is definitely not seeing the reader.

How have you got the reader setup?

ie you should be using 3.57 clock speed (on the jumpers), and phoenix mode.

The button on the front should be pushed in.

Apart from that your config has all the usual crap that doesn't need to be there.

I've attached one at the bottom of this which has all the basic stuff you need ie removes all the radegestdblablabla stuff...

It puts NewCS on port 15000, the webconsole on port 16001, with a admin/admin for the username/password.

Cheers,

Have you tried a normal serial port - ie what about the motherboard serial header?

Did your friend check the components are assembled correctly, or did he check that the reader works on his computer? There is a difference.
