Garry:
There sure has been a lot of posts about USB/serial problems.
I use a laptop with USB only and the dreaded Vista (works fine for me).
I bought a cheapo USB to serial cable, loaded in the driver and that is
all I did -- the computer did the rest. It recognizes the K3 (even when
I occasionally use a hub) automatically. I have done about 8 regular
and beta upgrades and they have all gone flawlessly.
Obviously, others have not been so lucky. What I would suggest is your
pal get a USB/serial cable, load in a driver and then do the test in the
K3 utility. There may be no problem at all. If they talk to each
other, great; if not troubleshoot from that point.
