    Under the "run" command click identify. You may need to list a com port for it.

    What kind of USB adapter? Who is the manufacturer?
    Which version of their USB driver are you using?
    Which version of Windows are you using?
    What steps are you going through?
    What happens?
    What kind of error messages do you get?

    Try to install usb drivers anyway. I had a similar problem, restarted my pc, hooked up the usb cable, then went thru the new hardware wizard to install new drivers. It worked for me anyway,...also using XP pro. Maybe try to delete com3 ?!?

    Yes, you DO need to download the FTDI vendor driver -- the default Windows XP driver does NOT work properly with the FTDI hardware on the BOE-USB board. So not just "any" USB to Serial driver will do.

    One other thing to check is the battery. 9 out of 10 times it seems when someone is having trouble and using a 9V battery, the battery was simply low.
