I had that happen once.... I think it was the USB to Serial connector that
took a dump. Do you have another one to try? Before that.... Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, go to Start, Control Panel, System, Hardware and look to see if the device shows up with informational mark next to it. (Yellow Exclamation) or some red marking, or an unknown device. If any of those are found you can right click and uninstall. Then go to Action tab and in the drop down and rescan for changes. If it reinstalls the same way, the right click on the device and then navigate to a driver disc to install (assuming you have a disk). If that doesn't work... Go to Windows update in the control panel and check for downloads to see if the device is listed. If none of that works, then refer to my first sentence. More than you wanted to know??? Probably... but now I won't have to retype this process again in the future.

In reply to this post by roger shirko
A couple of ideas: verify that the plug is in the right jack on the back of the W2. And does the USB to serial adapter work with another device? Like a K3?
