MarcelC 5 Posted February 1, 2007 Unfortunately most new laptops do not come with serial or parallel ports any longer. Flexi should still work with the USB. Follow the setup sheet instructions to set up and install the USB driver. Then change the USB Serial driver port setting in the advanced properties of that driver in the device manager. Try using a Com number 1-4 and also set Flexi to match the same Com port you have set the driver to in device manager. If one port number doesn't work or is "in use" then try another one. I had one person already tell me they were able to install in windows vista with a laptop but I'm not sure if they were using the USB port or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
