I took a look at the link and hit a snag. On my device manager there is no line that list Ports and LPT, last thing on the list is USB controller.

What's the connection like between your profilux and laptop? On mine, I have the GHL supplied RS232 cable plugged into the back of the profilux... connected to that I have an $8 futureshop RS232->USB adaptor cable.
WHen I plug into my laptop, my laptop recognizes the USB->serial adaptor and then I can connect via the profilux control program. I don't know if it makes a difference or not but it might also be worth trying a new cable. |

Well problem solved, went to Best Buy and picked up a RS232 to USB adapter like Slickfork suggested. Got home excited to try it out, plugged it in and BAM..........CONNECTION COMPLETED.
Thanks for the idea Chris
