Total Posts: 2 | I am sorry for posing this questioin, and yes, I am aware that a guide exists for connecting, but there is one thing I cannot seem to do correctly: I cannot put the USB cable in the correct port. What and where are the COM1 and COM3 ports? Help is much appreciated. |

Total Posts: 2 | Hmm. Well, "anywhere that fits" does not seem to be working. I have about 18 USB ports on the back of my tower. about 11 are being used. When I plug the cable into any of those ports, TI Device Explorer does not detect any connections. Thanks for trying to help, though. |

The best idea is to plug in the calculator, wait until you hear the noise indicating that Windows recognizes it, right click the 8xp/8xk you want to send and select Send to TI Device. If the software is installed properly, this choice will be there. After that it's just a matter of clicking Send and hoping that TI-Connect doesn't suck.
