Does Windows 10 not support serial ports. When trying to run LSU, the configure post utility shows them as disabled. When trying to run LSU ver 2.0 on an older computer, running Windows 98, the advice screen pops up as missing the "tabctl32.ocx" file. I am just trying to create a black module for CAB-2 ver. 1.6.
Did or does anyone have a fix for this problem?

Where it shows disabled you should be able to click on com 1 that should get you going.
The pull down menu only shows "disabled". On the original post I have included the name of the missing file for windows 98.
Thanx for your interest and reply, STPaul
A couple of questions...
Do you currently have a USB to serial adapter installed on the Windows 10 PC or does it have serial ports on it and Windows 10 just doesn't recognize them?
What version LSU are you running? 1.1 is the most recent.
Do you have an LCS WiFi module? If so you can connect to the Base via the WiFi and make them that way. The WiFi just replaces the serial connection from the PC to base.

Sorry 2.0 is current. Does windows 10 even recognize the serial adapter? Or is just LSU that doesn't see it?
Windows 10 does not see the serial adapter when I plug it in. When I start the LSU program, the communications advice box opens and reports "ports disabled".

Until Windows 10 see the USB to Serial, I'm pretty sure LSU will not recognize it. Are the drivers loaded for the USB ? Serial adapter? Maybe go to the USB to Serial manufacturer's website to see if they have updated driver perhaps? I'll admit I am unfamiliar with Windows 10 so my questions may seem elementary.

Windows 10 supports serial data just fine, here's the LSU 2.0 on Windows 10 Pro. I'm just bringing up the Windows 10 computer, so I just loaded the LSU and connected the Legacy to the serial port. Woke right up with no problems at all.
It would help a bunch if you told us EXACTLY what USB adapter you're trying to use.
Glad yours is working, so is mine, see your thread about your new board project.
Bad USB cable? Did you use the same type, or maybe the one you had wasn't recognized by Windows 10?
The original on was from Radio Shack, and was hanging on the layout for years. I have used it to do upgrades on the Legacy system from 1.4/1.5/1.54. Also used it to upgrade the DCS base and handheld. The one I replaced is from Best Buy, manufactured by Insignia, model NS-PU99501.
I suspect the old RS one didn't have proper Windows 10 drivers, I had an issue with the first release of Windows 10 for my printer, and it's a modern networked Canon! They finally did get drivers that would work, but every new operating system has some of that. Also, I have some old stuff like a fingerprint reader and a couple of Webcams that will never be supported by a modern Windows system.
