Hi all,
Thisis will be a guide on how to get CrystalControl2 running as smoothly as possible under Windows7.
Ill update this post as information is gathered on this topic.
As Windows7 is still in beta/RC, consider any information here as "beta" also.
Just because it has worked here for some people, doesnt mean itll work for you.
LCD/USB Drivers
Windows7 appears to have one driver of the two required to get a CF USB LCD working.
Win7 installs the USB port driver, but cant find the "USB Serial Port" driver.
The drivers here appear to work correctly.
Extract the ZIP file, open the Win7 device manager, right-click on the "USB Serial Port" (will have a warning icon), select Update Driver, then select the location which the ZIP was extracted to on your hard drive.
Win7 should then find USB Serial Port driver and install it.
