Hi, Folks.
I´m trying to do the DCS Upgrade from version 4.10 to 4.20.
All the connection are ok. I´m receiving the following information: The program is having a hard time to finding a TIU connected.
By the way, I´m using a old USB Belkin adapter model F5U109 and my OS is Windows 7.
I tried a new driver for the USB adapter to contain the Window 7, but the last version is Windows XP.
So, could you tell me where I can get the new driver, or another option?
Regards

So you are using that adapter to go from USB port to a serial cable?
Windows 7 should be fine without the need of a special driver.
Maybe try a different USB port if you have any on the computer.
Sometimes it works better with some ports than others for some reason.
Its a Windows thing I guess.
What version of the loader program are you using?
Does it open OK?

I'd consider buying a more up-to-date USB<->Serial adapter. I'm not sure where you'd shop in your country, that's one issue...
Rod,
Windows 7 should be fine without the need of a special driver.
Not necessarily.I had to replace an older cable that stopped working when I went from Windows XP to Windows 7.
Hi A.C.Sant Anna,
Have you checked the device manager to see if Windows is recognizing your adapter as a Com port? If it does show up as a com port try clicking the "Options" menu in the DCS loader program and set the com port manually. Sometimes the loader program has trouble auto-detecting USB-serial adapters on Win 7.
Hi Folks
Thank you very much for your attention.
I think the better solution is to buy a new cable adapter.
My train supplier is Ready to Roll in Miami. I´ll ask for them to buy a new one for me.
Anyway, thanks again for everyone.
