I'm getting error "SX Key not found on COM4" when I try to program/run my SX Tech board.
Configuration:·
windows Vista home premium 32 bit service pack 1;
Parallax USB to 232 Rev B (C) 2005;
SX-Key Rev F;
SX Tech 2004-1999;
SX28AC/DP-G· 0720;
Assembler: SX-Key v3.2.3;
Setup-SX-Key-Editor-v3.2.3lg;
(or 3.2.9h-beta--see below)
It had been running on XP before I switched to Vista.
I tried installing:
USBDriverInstallerV2.04.06
but got error "this program might not have installed correctly"
and I still got the "not found" errorl
Then I tried installing:
USBDriverInstallerV2.0.0 which I had used under XP.
It seemed to install OK, but gave the same "not found" error.
The Windows System Device list shows
"Ports (COM & LPT) / USB Serial Port (COM4)"
when the Key is plugged in,
and There IS a COM4 radio button, checked, in the IDE Serial Port panel on the Run Configuration screen in the SX-Key software,
but I still get the "SX-Key not found on COM4" error when I try to run, program, or debug.
Finally, I tried installing
Setup-SX-Key-Editor-v3.2.92h-BETA.exe
it said it was installing USB drivers,
but the Windows System device listing show the COM4 driver as:
Provider:FTDI; Date: 5/19/2006; Version: 2.0.0.0;
That gave the same error, even after re-installing USBDriverInstallerV2.04.06.
I am still getting the same error message, and have run out of ideas of things to try.
Any suggestions?

· The SX-Key serial version gets it's power from the development board. Unlike the USB version that gets power from the PC USB port.
· Make sure you have it plugged into a development board with a good SX chip and powered up. Otherwise it will say "Not found".
Other than that, I would try removing the COM port from device manager and letting your system re-install it.

Go Back to XP:Vista thinks were a bunch of HACKERS because it see's USB in A diff. light....You can make it work w/ Vista,,But why take all that Agerv... That and XP runs faster??????????
HP,LexMark, and few other Spooler drivers/ along w/ the BloutWare they Add will tie up the USB ports...W/ XP You have better control of this....Vista looks at this as "AUTO UPDATES",,,Not Good
You'll eventually get the Drivers loaded and working,,Untill You add some more,Or get·A "WindowsUpdate"
But I Have to admit,The Chess game is cool
