TI Connect being stupid (again)...
« on: November 11, 2013, 12:28:53 am »
From time to time TI Connect does this and I usually can fix it by restarting my computer. This time it's being really weird though. I've restarted twice, re-installed my OS once, cleared all ram once, changed batteries and (because I just backed up everything this morning) cleared all memory twice. It still shows this message every time I try to send something, no matter what file I send from any folder.

Didn't work :(

This has happened to me in the past too, did you try using TiLP, I have gotten no success with TI-Connect for the past year, and TiLP works great.

Topic title should have been "TI-Connect is a piece of garbage", but again most people know this, so I guess the current title is fine too. I had this happen once but I tried again (reconnecting my calc before doing so) and it worked again. Some people like you definitively didn't have the same luck as me, though. >.<

Lol. The only thing I use it for now is to send OS's over Silverlink, because it's somehow broken in Tilp (via DirectUSB it works fine though but my 83+se doesn't have it).

It is an alternate program to TI-Connect for sending files to calculators:

Getting TILP from http://ourl.ca/4010/360344 would be even better :)
ClrDraw: as indicated by the README, you'll have to follow a manual procedure and install a "filter driver" for TILP to work. That sucks from a user's POV, but the culprit is a fundamental Windows limitation. Windows hates having more than one driver for a given piece of hardware. Having to install such workarounds is not a problem of TILP itself.

The mere fact that wincrap requires drivers to communicate with USB devices is already a limitation.

Thanks for the links, I can't install it now though cause I don't have admin privileges :( IDK if the owner of this computer will let me install it, but I'll try...

Yeah, without admin privileges, you're toast.
It's not so different on Linux, that said - one needs to be root for a short time as well, either for installing a package (when there's a suitable one for the distro and it's not outdated), or adding a udev file which triggers read+write access to non-root users.

What? I never needed to install a driver. Is this the same driver gCn uses?
