Anyone successfully got the DGT board up and running in Vista 64bit RTM.
The the usb-serial driver installs, but it will not setup the usb com port needed to recognise the board?
The RC versions worked ok.

Re: DGT board and 64bit Vista
I don't know much about DGT support as far as 64bit Operating Systems go, however I can tell you that the DGT Board uses a Virtual Com Port driver that goes by the name FTDI. I think you are having a driver problem because you are trying to use a 32bit driver in a 64bit OS. Now while DGT does not make or support a 64bit version of this driver, it (64bit version) can be located and download from the following website:oddius wrote:Anyone successfully got the DGT board up and running in Vista 64bit RTM.

There are versions of this driver for the following Operating Systems:
Windows XP x64
Windows Server 2003 x64
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
Windows 2000
Windows ME
Windows 98
Linux
Mac OS X
Mac OS 9
Mac OS 8
Windows CE.NET (Version 4.2 and greater)
I hope this info helps you. I have been told that this driver works well with the DGT board and 64bit Operating Systems. I have not had the time to test this myself yet. FTDI stands for Future Technology Devices International, I think they make the chip that DGT uses in there DGT Boards.
