make sure FA123 is set to the correct port
make sure FA123 is sending in FX/AFX mode, not CFX mode

i was reading that the cable has to be 25pin but the one i have is 9 pin do i need an adapter?
also
do i need a patch for the fa 123 software ?fxi to cat? to make it work with my cable
finally
if i use a different operating system (currently xp) will it help?
thanks

2) No. You do want to install cat files don't you? since you can't install fxi with the FA-123
3) Yes. Try Win2K ... XP sucks!

I say M$ did never make a better os (in the windows series) than 2K what does not mean that 2k is a good os but it is, IMO the best from M$.
Btw. my XP is up2date but my 2K works all fine with only SP4

I used to accuse Micro$oft too when my computer crashed but I realized that the most often it's a problem related to non M$ software pieces or bad hardware (bad RAM or miscellaneous bad firmwares)

has to be 25 pin? all the circuit diagrms i have show clearly that it can be wired to 25pin or 9 pin connectors.
it works fine on all my machines (Server 2003, XP Pro SP2, XP Pro SP2, XP Home SP2

i'm trying the cable on a win 98 computer but im still having prob
if i hit send from the computer my calc immediatly says recieve error. does this means the com port is right b/c the calc tries to recieve something?
also on this comp the com port is 1 and i am using the casiocom and fa 123 software.
im begining to think its the cables problem b/c this website show a cord with one hump

I don't want to sound mean or anything but are you sure the comport works? have you ever had any device working on it (e.g. modem) or is it, maybe, turned off in the BIOS?
Just to make sure

good luck with the cable tho

For turning on the comport:
This is in the "chipset features" setup of the bios. There you can turn the serial, paralell, usb, firewire, ethernet ... controllers on (enabled) or off (disabled). I think nearly all modern bioses have this option.
