Crossbow Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 You're trying to run old DOS software under Windows XP with a USB adapter? Modsoft doesn't even like being run in a DOS shell, and hates fast computers (but not as bad as Symate from SQD). Break down and buy a 32-bit programming software, it will make your life so much easier. I've used ProWORX NxT (also not obsolete, but at least a Windows product) and the crappy ProWORX 32 under Windows 98/2000/XP through a USB to serial adapter with no problems. I would recommend www.fast-soft.com for their PLC Workshop for Modicon, which is a true 32-bit application and is half the price of Modicon's newer (and buggier) ProWORX 32. Quote
