Take Control
Computer
I don't have a serial port available to
connect the TC1000 to my computer.
Cause
Each serial port already has a
device connected to it.
Solution
Disconnect a computer
peripheral device from a serial port
that you don't use or need, and then
remove it from the list of devices in
the Windows Device Manager. Note
that after removing a device from
the Windows Device Manager, you
will need to reinstall it, if you choose
to again use it on that serial port.
To remove a computer peripheral
device, for example a mouse:
In Windows 95 or Windows 98
1
Click the
Start
button on the Win-
dows taskbar, point to
Settings
,
and then click
Control Panel
.
2
Double-click
System
, click the
Device Manager
tab, select the
device in the list, and then click
Remove
.
In Windows NT
1
Click the
Start
button, point to
Settings
, and then click
Control
Panel
.
2

Add/Remove
Programs
.
3
Select the program assigned to the
serial port, click
Add/Remove
, and
then click

.
4
Close all applications and restart
your computer.
If your mouse is connected to a serial
port, check to see if you have a mouse
(PS/2) port.
If so, you can install a PS/2
mouse. Or, if you have a Universal
Serial Bus (USB) port and are running
Windows 98, you can install a USB
mouse.
The computer-connector plug on the
serial cable does not work with my
computer
Cause
The computer has a 25-pin
serial port.
Solution
Use a 9-pin-to-25-pin serial
adapter to connect the serial port:
1
Insert the 25-pin side of the adapter
into the serial port and tighten the
screws.
2
Insert the computer-connector plug
into the 9-pin side of the adapter.
I use an extension serial cable,
connected to my serial port
Cause
Signal interference may occur
when the serial cable is not connect-
ed directly to the computer.
Solution
Connect the computer con-
nector plug directly to the serial port
on the computer.
Take Control Version

Take Control.

version of Take Control you have.
