Edit | I think TILP or TIEML (sp?) will do that, but I am not sure... What are you trying to get it off of?? |

I'm trying to dump off an 83+ BTW, but TiLP should take care of it as soon as I get GTK. |

I'm using TiLP 6.78 and GTK+ Runtime 2.6.4, the Silverlink USB drivers that came with the TI-Connectivity Kit, and I'm running on Win98 SE. Are these versions meant for XP and too new for Win98, or is there some other program or something I'm missing? |

Try googling for that dll file and see if you can find a newer one and perhaps that'd work. Sometimes plain windows update does the trick. Though, I did have lots of troubles with TiLP as well and it never ran. However, the program is generally supposed to run on win98se and above.

Looks like there's some error with the GTK libraries. I'll try looking for that dll file. I also saw that I can update GTK to 2.6.7, so that might help considering now the error is in GTK (until it crashes for a different reason...).

Total Posts: 170 | Ok, it's working fine with the updated GTK, but now it won't acknowledge that I'm using a USB, not a COM port (it keeps giving me COM port errors). The readme said I should download silverlink drivers, but won't the ones that came with the TI-Connectivity Kit do? Or do I have to get rid of the TI drivers and install this LPG Silverlink driver? How do I tell it I'm using a USB cable?
These are the kinds of errors I'm getting:
Msg: Unable to open COM port.
Cause: Check that the device is not used/locked by another application (modem ?).
System: GetLastError = 6 -> The handle is invalid.
Msg: Error while flushing the buffer(s).
Cause: Internal Win32 error
It used to give me some other transmission error after it sent the ROM83 program to my calc, but now only the above pops up.

Total Posts: 939 | You must uninstall TI-Connect, find and destroy its USB Driver (I'm not sure what it's named anymore), and install the LPG driver. Actually, if you're resourceful, you can make it so you can use either TI-Connect or TiLP depending on what USB port the cable is plugged into... That's much easier said than done, though. |

Total Posts: 170 | Um, lol...maybe the drivers were fine. It thought I was using a 92+ greylink, and all I had to do was change the "communication" settings. :P
Now I'm getting some wierd driver errors. Apparently TiLP sees the drivers I installed (after deleting three files from the old one), then after I try to run the ASM program it suddenly thinks it's not there (it either gives a transmission error or I get a blue screen)! After just accessing my calc, it gives me these errors when I try to alter the comm settings in TiLP:
Msg: Unable to open COM port.
Cause: Check that the device is not used/locked by another application (modem ?).
Msg: Unable to open the USB device.
Cause: Check your SilverLink is correcly installed in the Windows' Control Panel. The ticables library need a specific driver for this cable. You will find it on http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_usb.
Oh, but it's installed according to the Control Panel. What I end up doing is removing the GRAPH LINK drivers from the Control Panel (maybe a Blue Screen O Death might pop up), then unplugging/replugging the cable, so the "new hardware found" pops up. The thing with that is that there's no hardware wizard. It says it can't find something, then redirects me to a place where it tells me to locate the dll file (which I do, and it installs fine). I've done this five times already. What files do I need to delete before I install the driver, and what kind of remnants in the registry should I be looking for?
