KXUSB problem

[Vic Rosenthal]

I have a W2 wattmeter which came with a KXUSB adapter. The KXUSB worked
with an old XP computer, but I can't get it to work with my Windows 7
machine.

This computer has two real serial ports and it already has two
USB/serial adapters in use (both FTDI). When I go to the Device Manager
it lists COM1, COM2, COM4 and COM6.

When I plug in the KXUSB it flashes, but no additional COM ports show up
in the Device Manager.

The W2 software sees the same four ports, but of course doesn't find the W2.

Rebooting doesn't help. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to fix this?

I updated the driver, but it still didn't work. Then I tried pushing the
plug ALL THE WAY into the socket on the W2! Of course that was it.

Always look for the most simple solution first! I should know this by now.
