Not relly enough information.

I am assuming you are using and Enttec Open or an Enttec pro interface.
If so ensure you have installed the Enttec drivers. When done check in Device Manager to see what port has been associated with the interface. use that one.

Are you looking under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" or "Ports" to find the Enttec in the Device Manager? You should find it under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", then right click and click on properties. Then go to the port tab. It will be there. You can change which port to be used from there. Make sure you pick a port 1-15. Then go into FS and match up the ports. Usually my pc puts it in port 5 every time I connect it.

I am on Windows XP and in Device Manager ...
I get "USB Serial Converter" in the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" section
I get "USB Serial Port (COM6)" in the "Ports" section. To change the port, right click and select "Properties" then click the "Port Settings" tab and then the "Advanced..." button. You can now change the assigned serial port via the drop down list.

As can be seen by the highlights in the following images.

I was blabing (is that a word?) off the top my head, cause I'm still at work and don't have my enttec to show the print screens. Good job with the prt scrns Andre. They should clearing see what I was trying to get across. Thanks

I am sure you know I was not saying you was wrong or trying to pull you up, just wanted to ensure info was correct. Very good guess if at work and info not available to you

I have just changed the 2nd picture so it shows some of the ports in the drop down list. Shows ones in use.

Also added information about checking changing comports to the FreeStyler Wiki in the FAQ section.

Nah, I knew you had my back. To be honest, I always just went straight to the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. I never looked under Ports. Never had to, it was still in the same place I found it as the first time

Now who's BLABING ?
