March 1, 2009 at 17:20windows 7 and not PnP devices
I’ll say in advance - maybe I didn’t carefully read articles about Windows 7, but it was a discovery for me.
A small introduction. I have installed Windows 7, I use it as the main system, there is still a dying vista, which simply does not have time to restore or remove. Internet cable.
He was disconnected tonight due to lack of money in his account.
Well, there was no salary yet, the Internet was needed. I clearly remember that on one of my electronic wallet there is definitely a shortage. It remains to connect to the Internet and transfer money. Of all the available Internet connections, my old Siemens C65 remained in conjunction with the IrDA port that is connected ...
Yes Yes. It is through the COM port. Having turned on the port in BIOS, by analogy with vista and xp, I start looking in the control panel for something like “add a device”. Found, but you cannot manually specify the device I need. The OS itself searches for devices, and if it finds it, it connects. After 15 minutes of searching, my patience ran out, and I tried to find at least something in the help. And I found something a little close on the topic.
In the article Install a game controller , there is Note: Controllers that use connections other than USB ports aren't supported in Windows 7.
I understand that if the device is connected via the COM port, and working with it is based only on the driver, i.e. does not have an additional program working directly with the com port - it will not be possible to connect.
PS I really hope that I'm wrong, and just did not find what I was looking for. Correct me if so.
