Forcing Windows 95 to Detect
the Serial Hardware
This appendix describes how to troubleshoot problems and answers some
common questions.
If Windows 95 does not detect your serial hardware correctly, or you have
been using your serial hardware with the default Windows 95 serial driver
or an older version of the NI Serial software, Windows 95 does not display
the New Hardware Found dialog box. To correct the problem, complete
the following steps.
1.
Select Start»Settings»Control Panel.
2.
Double-click on the System icon.
3.
Select the Device Manager page.
4.
Click the View devices by type button.
5.
Double-click on the Ports (COM & LPT) icon to display a list of all
ports that Windows 95 recognizes. If you have previously installed a
PCMCIA serial card, double-click on Other Devices, where
Windows 95 lists the ports it does not recognize.
Note
To remove ports on two- or four-port cards, you must open the Multifunction
adapter class, select the name of the interface, and click on the Remove button.
