I've read of people having success on XP
with the perfectly fine HP version which *preceded* the 50G
("if it weren't broke, why'd they try to fix it?")

HP48GII and HP49G+ PC Connectivity Kit, Version 2.2.2353

If this (or other more sage advice) doesn't help,
can you use SD cards instead?

There should be no problem transfering binary files
(such as Equation libs); it's also easy to transfer
UserRPL with some simple "translation" programs
(ask if needed).

Probably so (and it even did a ROM update before that!)

Flag -78 is exactly what made my 50G seem broken at first,
though it shouldn't affect 49G+ (in which my flag -78
must have been set for a year without my ever knowing it,
until I transferred RAM to a 50G and got disconnected from my PC :)

Flag -78 isn't shown in the Flag Browser,
but in APPS > I/O Functions > Transfer
you can set the port to USB then press ENTER;
I believe that this fixes both flags at the same time
(on 49G+ there will be no "Serial" option, only IrDA vs. USB)

thanks! I fixed the problemm it wasn`t connecting because of the flag
problem.
I didn't change this flag in the options, so I think someone messed
with my calculator....
thanks again for your help!
