rtucker 0 Posted November 1, 2009 I bought a new Dell computer last year that runs Vista. I reinstalled my signcut software, bought a USB/serial cord from Radio Shack. I think I read someone on this forum did the same and got great results. I'm not getting any results with my copam talking to signcut. I installed the cable drivers according to the instructions. I've tried every available com port on my computer. is anyone willing to talk me through this? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtucker 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Since I have a deadline staring right at me, I went back to my old Dell with the LTP1 port, hooked up the ol' copam and cut out the names I needed. I went back through the forum looking for solutions to the no LTP port (my new Dell doesn't have one) and didn't see any information I could use. If you know how to make the USB/serial cable work with my situation please share. I've had my cutter for a couple of years and it has always worked like a charm, paid for itself a dozen times over. I guess I'll just keep the old Dell around for a dedicated computer for the cutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimE 0 Posted November 2, 2009 I had a similar problem...no LPT or serial port on my Vista 64 machine. I fought with several USB serial adapters and their associated drivers with no luck. I purchased a Vista 64 bit compatible PCI parallel card for $20 and had the Copam up and running in 20 minutes. Eventually I will have the Copam networked in the system but for now this was the best answer for my setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
