You just have to install TI-Connect software from a cd that came with your calc and you can then send games and other programs. Have a look at our visual FAQ to learn how you can do all that:

Total Posts: 507 | ok, i dunno...
did you let your OS pick your USB driver? i had a few issues on my new comp, where when i installed TI-Connect it still wouldnt connect. if you let windows pick a driver, it says it wont work, but i had to do it that way.
i will try to help you, but i need some info.
Operating Sys on computer?
do you have the disk that came with it?
if you dont have windows 95,98,XP, or any other plug-and-play model, i cant help you here... ive never installed a calc on a NT based system, only Dos based... |
