I am having a heck of a time getting this Cisco USB Console to work, I down loaded and installed the driver, its a windows 7 x64 system I plug in the router and it install and if I look in device manager I get comport 3 under ports and at the top I see cisco USBconsolewindowsdriver inside that it shows cisco buss enumerator and Cisco USB to serial adapter but there is? In the icons but everything says it installed. But when I try to open comport 3 says cant open tried unistalling and reinstalling and shows and acts the same way tried tera term, putty, same thing what am I doing wrong?

Edit:- just to clarify, this installs a virtual com port driver. You will need to look in your control panel to find out what 'com port' gets assigned.
You can then use a terminal program like putty to connect by 'serial' to com1 or whatever number com port the driver gives you. I loaded the driver on my desktop, but The installation notice said ' Cisco virtual com unsuccessful USB driver successful I went to verify at Device manager on my PC.
