[Dxbase] Configuration Data?

[Stan]

It is a NetMos pci card with two serial ports on the back. Win 7
automatically recognized it as a NetMos and assigned drivers. When I try to
update the drivers using the CD that came with the board, Win 7 refuses and
says that the most current drivers are already installed. A search on the
NetMos site shows no downloadable drivers but rather links to third-party
companies that either charge for the drivers or force you to download their
driver monitoring program. I may have to bite the bullet and pay a few
bucks, although I have a feeling that what I download will be the same as
what is on the CD already. The ports work fine with Vista.

Is the serial port you are trying to use now USB To Serial?
What chip set does it use?
Do you have the latest drivers from the chip set manufacture for it?

Tony and Oystein,

Thank you. I put the dxb2007.ini file in the Windows folder and got some of
the config settings, but not color or layout. However, I just configured it
manually again and it didn't take too long. I tried the DXB Driver Setup and
designated XP, but Win 7 is still not seeing the serial ports. When I boot
up the same computer with a drive running Vista, it sees the serial ports
just fine. So, I guess I am going to have to look around for a serial port
pci card or a usb to serial converter that works with Win 7.

There are also info in the registry that are part of the installation setup.
For the second on com-ports, have you executed 'DXB Driver setup'?  choosing
XP setup.
