I connected the traqmate to an older computer running windows xp and it works fine.
anybody else have this problem? any suggestions? sent an Email to Traqmate but no help so far.

The newer laptops and PC's have many ports, and the Trtaqmate by defualt only tries about 18 or 20 ports (dont rememeber exactly)
If you see that TM goes up to 18 ports only, then do it manually and start from port 19, and just increase the port number incrementally by 1 until TM connects to the display unit.
Should also be answers for this on the TM forum at www.Traqmate.com

did you check the forum -
Both my laptops are W7 (one 32 bit on 64 bit) - installed fine on both of mine, but I had to do it manually

I have come across enough incompatibility issues with Win7 64-bit with data systems (plus some other programs / USB-serial drivers / etc) on my new computer that I'm actually going to have my old one rebuilt - new HD (old one crashed) and reinstall Windows XP.
Traqview and R-T Analysis might end up being the only programs I even install. Clean and simple.
The old one will become my good ol' reliable track computer while the fancy new one stays home.
I might be able to do more with the new one, but the reliability of the old one with XP and minimal CPU/HD load will be hard to beat at the track.

i was a little apprehensive about loading the the software so i used the link Andre sent by email (which did not work on the sony) and loaded the soft ware. i plugged in the display unit and was rewarded with the message traqmate display unit connected to port 3. clicked on auto connect and it works.
Big thanks to Ron, Andre and Glen for all their help. I'm not sure why the sony would not work but very happy with the HP so far

Part of the reason for this is the early adoption of USB3.0 by OEMs have used add-on bits since Intel's "Sandy Bridge" chipset was the first product to include it "on board".
It may be best to use USB2.0 ports for TM connections - duly noted (says the man with some USB3.0 ports).
