001 - LocoBuffer-USB

I get a "Port in use" message every time I try to start JMRI.

What causes the JMRI "Time out talking to command station"
error with DecoderPro?

Can I run my RR software without the LocoBuffer-USB connected?

How do I know what serial port to choose in my software's
preferences?

I have accidentally installed the wrong driver, or it will
not work. How can I start over again?

First, with the LocoBuffer-USB plugged into the machine see
if there are 'LocoBuffer-USB' entries under the hardware
device listings for "Ports (Com & LPT)" and/or "USB
controllers" If so, uninstall them.  Now unplug the
LocoBuffer-USB from your computer and plug it in again. This
should allow you to re-install your drivers. 

Windows users should also go into the Control Panel. Choose
"Add or Remove Programs. This will open up a window listing
all the programs on your machine. Look for one with "FTDI"
in the
name. For example it might be "FTDI USB Serial Converter
Drivers". Select it and remove it if possible.  

For more install help go to 
Windows XP Driver installation.

Why is the red light on my LocoBuffer-USB not on?

I see that there are new (LocoBuffer-Rev-N) drivers listed
on the RR-CirKits web site. Should I upgrade to them?

I just upgraded to Windows 7 and the LocoBuffer-USB driver
isn't working.
