Well, I know this thread is now 11 years old, but I'm in the same situation as Carl. I have a CP290 that I would still like to use, but have not found a way to run it under Windows 7 32 bit.

I downloaded the program that Dave Hurus did (version 1.31), but no go. Any other options beside setting up a standalone computer? I was able to get this to run under Windows 2000 previously.

Thanks All

can\'t get any communications between the serial port and the unit. It
used
to work on Com 4. When I look at the Hardware Profile it indicates a
big
yellow question mark.

Upon boot-up the PC finds new hardware and asks for drivers. But I have

none and have searched the web all weekend to no avail.

Does anyone out there have Drivers for an XP Windows based PC.
(Interestingly enough I\'ve already got a driver disk for the Macintosh
which
came with one I bought as a back up if my original ever gives up the
ghost)

Please help, I can\'t give up my CP290 without a fight!

Did you try to use the Virtual Machine (XP) under Windows 7?

I am using X10 with Win 7 32 bit with no problem. What I did was to
right click on the Lighthouse.exe file and select "troubleshoot
compatibility" I think I then selected XP mode and set my port to Com
1. I found out that Adobe printer was hogging Com 1 so I temporarily
set it(Adobe) to Com 2. set up X10 and everything worked!

good luck
Walt
