What system are you running? If XP, then you need to restart the system and it should find it. If not then reinstall the software. I have a 4 extra serial to USB hub and the hypertermial shows up to 7 ports, which is correct for my system.

Win 95.

Check the card dip switch settings. There should be some very small switches that will allow you to change the com ports around. This is all on the card itself. Also check your bios settings, you might have to change them also.

[Captain Midnigh]

No dip switches. I have tried changing parameters to: com 1, com 2, com 3, com 4, com 5, com 6. Plugging into com 5 and com 6 on the card. Connecting 2 to 3, and 3 to 2. Conecting 2 to 2, and 3 to 3 on the plug. Nothing

Did the card come with a floppy disk or CD?

To save alot of time if you are trying to confirm a port working, make up a dummy loop back plug for the port.
If 25pin jumper 2-3 4-5 6-8-20
if 9 pin jumper 2-3 7-8 1-4-6.
Anything you send out will appear on your screen, if the port is active.
I agree that Terminal is far better than Hyperterminal and much quicker to set up.

Yes, the card came with a mini CD. My drive won't play it.

[bborb]

Win95 needs the drivers (files) that are on that CD. If you can't run the CD, you're kinda screwed. If you're internet savy, you may find the files you need at driversguide.com

[Captain Midnigh]

I removed the hard drive and connected it to my home computer. Loaded the files on the hard drive. I now need to put the hard drive back in the shop computer and try it again.
Thanks for the help
