Re: Foot pedal issue HELP!!

Maureen, I'm feeling for you here, as I had the exact same trouble, and for
the life of me I cannot remember how I solved the problem, but I believe it
was a simple setting.... go through your ES and see if anything looks amiss.
I'm sorry I can't remember what I did. It might have just been trial and
error, and re-trial, and then it worked for no apparent reason. That's the
way a lot of my issues are solved. <sigh>

I purchased an Infinity foot pedal to work with Express scribe. I ordered
the serial port rather than the USB port which may be my issue. I have a
Sony all-in-one desktop with only USB ports and I use a LAN docking station
to add my printer (serial port not USB) and also to utilize it as a USB
hub. I figured I had the extra available serial port on the docking station
so I might as well just go serial port connection.

Anyway, I have Express Scribe on my computer and laptop. I connected the
foot pedal, but the computer does not recognize the foot pedal and when I
try all the various options in ES, it still wont work. It was recommended
that I make sure I have a gaming driver thing installed and when I try to
do that I get an error message that says "Your gameport or gameport
drivers are not properly configured. Please consult the device manager."
So I fiddled around with that for a couple of hours still with no
solution.

So I broke down and ran to RadioShack and got the serial to USB adapter
that was recommended. When I try to install the driver on my desktop, I
get a Windows error message saying that the installation was interrupted
and do I want to report/not report the incident. It will not let me
install the driver to recognize the USB adapter.

Finally I figure, fine I'll try my laptop and if need be I can run ES on
the laptop and type on my desktop. It lets me install the driver for the
adapter as demonstrated in the installation guide, but it still wont work
in Express Scribe :(

I'm at wits end here. Any ideas?

Maureen
