Second thought - I am pretty sure Microsoft officially dropped support for serial connections in XP. There are lots of serial connections that work in XP, I don't know that I have had any issues... but I'm would not be surprised that more and more issues will come up around serial connections and Vista.
That said, I don't know if SERT is USB or Serial, so maybe I am off track here.
If it is a serial connection, you are probably screwed. I would follow advice above this post.

JMHO, of course.

Comparing anything Windows with any sort of "good" computing environment is an utter joke. The best possible scenario for any of these software developers is to write the code in Java so it is 100% portable to whatever the end-user wants to run on their computers. Requiring the user to obtain/use an MS Windows license is a terrible disservice!
Steve, I'm going to call you in the next few days with a few pointed questions regarding my already-purchased and delivered TTS tuner. Please set aside some time to spend with me on the phone. Okay?
Thanks!

Someone help me with this. When installed on XP, the base program was put in a file "C:\Program files\Super Tuner\" and some of the files were put in a "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Super Tuner\" subdirectory. When installed on Vista, I can't find the the latter directory. In other words, where does Vista put the actual "Tuning Files"? Thanks.

You're kidding, right??? Hope so, as RS-232/16550 compatibility is still a cornerstone of the core OS IO and will be for probably years to come. Problem is that there are so many consumers who know little, if anything, about serial communications nor did they live through the days where serial configuration was a standard, core competency for anyone using a personal computer. Nowadays, with Plug and Pray, USB, alternate operating systems, etc., those skills appear to be forgotten black magic.
JMHO, of course.

I didn't realize there was a new product, so I was not comparing them. I thought the discussion was regarding SERT.

Serial communications can be a challenge to set up properly, at times, because they can be extremely sensitive to resource conflicts. If your serial interface doesn't work properly:
I had a conflict for my TMax, using the Radio Shack USB adapter on my Vista laptop, but simply plugging into a different USB connector on the laptop forced it to use a different COM port. I then identified which COM port it was assigned and set the software to use that port, and it has been stable and steady since.
Hope this helps - probably way too much information, but too much is usually better than too little!
