Com port problems

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

At the end it looks like an unauthorized error is thrown. Are you running the program as administrator?

The logger stops sending archive data, and then when MX tries again, this error occurs:

En enhet koblet til systemet virker ikke.

"A device attached to the system is not working."

So some kind of issue has occured with the logger or perhaps more likely, the USB adapter, as the next error is:

Ingen tilgang til porten. - No access to the port.

Hi Eivind,
did you solve this problem?
Is the BelfryBoy datalogger a stable solution?
