NI Serial Ports Not Recognized in Windows XP

Hardware: Serial>>RS-232>>PCMCIA-232, Serial>>RS-232>>PCI-232/4

Problem: I just installed NI Serial version 1.45 on my Windows XP machine and then installed a new PCMCIA-232 or PCI-232 card. When I go into Device Manager, the ports of the card are not recognized.

Solution: NI Serial 1.45 was released in 2000 prior to Windows XP being released by Microsoft. It does not have native support for Windows XP.

NI-Serial 1.5 and later versions do support Windows XP. If you currently have version 1.45 installed, uninstall 1.45 and install the latest version (linked below).
