Well, Windows 7 isn't supported by the CPS, so that's the first issue. Did you perform the install in XP compatibility mode? That might help matters. Even if you get it to run, the USB drivers will not work, as they are not 64-bit, so you'll only be able to use the serial cable.

I got the software to install and the USB to Serial Cable to work with X64 in the XP mode.


Thank you for your help.
