    Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments.

    It sounds like the driver for the cable may not be installed properly. Follow the steps below to manually assign a driver for the cable:

    - Disconnect the USB cable from your PC. Leave the cable connected to the calculator.
    - Right-click on My Computer and choose properties.
    - Click on the Hardware tab then click on Device Manager.
    - Open the USB controller by clicking the +.
    - Turn the calculator ON then connect the USB cable to your PC. A new device will appear on the USB controller.
    - Right-click on the new device and choose Update Driver. The Hardware Update Wizard will appear.
    - Click on "Yes, this time only" then click Next.
    - Click on "Install from a list or specific location" (Advanced) then click Next.
    - Click on "Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install."
    - Click on Next. A list of available drivers should appear.
    - Click on TI Educational Handheld Device then click Next.
    - If the Windows Logo message appears, click Continue Anyway.
    - Once the driver is installed click Finish.

    The calculator should now be listed as a TI Educational Handheld Device under the USB controller.
