Little's Cache Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I am tying to interface my garmin Legend with my XP Homme computer and serial port. I keep getting an error on every port. I have tried the cable and legend on my Laptop, running Windows 98 and all runs fine. Any suggestions what I need to do for XP? Thanks Doug Quote Link to comment
gbc Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 As far as I know, it should connect without any extra config. I connect to XP home and Pro with easy. Check your com config and be sure to have the correct address and interrupt. Check with another device to be sure that your com is working properly, otherwise, it will be a computer side hardware problem. gbc Quote Link to comment
HJS Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I had the same problem trying to interface using the serial port. My HP computer with XP loaded wouldn't recognize anything on the serial port. Found an insert in my computer manual that has the steps to configure the ports to allow XP to find them. Once I went thru the procedure it worked. If that turns out to be your problem, post a reply and I'll dig out my manual. I can post the steps here or e-mail them to you. Quote Link to comment
