I have installed a rs232 pci card into my pc and got a serial null modem cable. I have changed the com port to number 3 in device manager.

But when i open voxer, it cant find the eurovox, any idea what im doing wrong?

Why did you change the COM port to number 3? Surely if the PCI card contains the only RS232 port on your computer, it would be COM1? Do you have an onboard RS232 port?

Originally it was com1 but i changed it to 3 as this was someone reccomended to me and it used to wotk on 3 on my old pc.

But i have tried both but no luck.

Change it back to COM1, does your cable look like this:

?

Yes mate, the cable is 100% correct as i used to connect the eurovox to my old pc with the same cable.

OK, are all the settings correct in Voxer? Sorry for all the questions but I need as much information as I can get to help diagnose your problem.

Hi mate, what sort of settings?

Anoher thing i may add before we go any further. As my PC is windows 7 and the pci card is only compatible with windows xp. Im using windows xp on microsoft virtual pc. Is this compatible?
