GSx Plus stopping

I've recently bought a new laptop with Vista on it, i previously had XP

Reinstalling Omega 2.6 went perfect but installing my USB to Serial didnt as my CD for it wasnt Vista compatible...luckly i found a driver from the website i bought it to make it vista compatible, now at this point i thought i was home free when everything was finally done, so i went about cutting a job out and this is where the problems begin.....half way through the job it just stopped working so i went in to GQMgr tab at the bottom and for somereason it had set to cut the job twice, so i went about doing it again form the start, set it to cut then i thought id go straight in to the GQMgr screen straight away and it had set to cut 4 times this time so i terminated the 3 jobs after the first one but didnt help!!

Now I've been through all my settings on both my old XP laptop and my new Vista Laptop everything seems to be exactly the same, USB to Serial Port is set at (com4) which it should be, I've even just basically unplugged everything out of my Vista laptop to plug everything back in to my old XP laptop and it cuts fine with my old system I just dont know where im going wrong or wondering if there's something simple i have missed but its driving me crazy at the minute, any help or suggestions would be helpfull

Hi there, thank you for your feedback, the sentinel driver is correct, your second comment is whats been going through my mind since i've changed Laptops, after it went wrong the first time i went to the shop i bought my original USB lead from to buy a new one thats compitable luckly i knew the boss there and he simply said install the vista driver from their website instead of paying out another £20 for a new lead, If nothing else works im going to have to try buy a new USB lead

Your 2nd idea crossed my mind the other day so i just unplugged it from my hub as it isnt powered and plugged straight in to the usb port in my laptop and it did exactly the same thing

Thanks for your advice

 

I'm starting to wonder if the driver is different as i had to download it from the shops website i bought it from, as the original cd i got with the lead wasnt Vista compatible, Think i'm just going to buy a new lead with vista compatable cd installion and see where that takes me, if it doesnt cure the problem then i'm completely clueless as what to do as every other option i can think of i've more than double checked
