Going from memory here, but it caused us pain I know. You have to get into Device Manager and change the driver for the serial port you wish to use to that Foxboro proprietary one. We often have to change it back to run other applications that use the same serial port. It's a real drag, and another reason I don't have too many Foxboro field instruments. I believe the driver gets installed when you install PC20/50.

The IT department in our company has been changing most PCs and this time they replaced the maintenance one. Even that we still have the PC20 software cd we are having problems to get it to work. We used it offline the process at the maintenance area to be easier to operators when calibrating and so on. The problem is that the software doesn´t install properly the driver of the modem (IFD PC10), and when the IT guy try to re-install the driver it doesn't accep it. I was reading the list messages and seems that it is due to a propietarty driver that is not been installed for the modem. The maintenance supervisor says that couple years ago when installing they needed to use a driver that it was included into the PC50 software patch but i can´t find it (free). Does anyone have any suggestion about solving this?
