USB configured as a COM port?

[pete1968]

Hi all,

I'm probably missing something obvious here, but not being a computer expert I'm stuck.

I am trying to use my ESky 4ch transmitter through a USB port (Belkin FSU219) on my Windows XP PC to use FMS. I have been to the FTDI website and downloaded the CDM 2.00.00 driver, but in Device Manager I cannot see a USB port configured as a COM port as I believe it needs to be. I've uninstalled and loaded the driver several times, but no joy.

Can anybody help?

Regards

Pete

when I tried to update the USB hubs through my device manager, it said all the drivers were already up to date. Is there another way of updating my drivers? when i googled for this problem, I found that some were suggesting that after a full reformat and reinstall of windows, USB 2.0 ports would only work after installing the drivers from the manufacturer's website. How can I tell what manufacturer made my USB 2.0 hub?


I've gone into the BIOS, and it says the USB 2.0 controller is set to hi speed (not full speed)
