Thanks for clarifying TheStorm. I don't have problems with TiLP on Windows altough it's a lil annoying to use sometimes

I think that people criticize TI-Connect way too much.  I like it much better than the other linking programs, and I have almost never had any problems with it.  Btw, if you look at the stuff that brandonw sends to his calc, then you wouldn't be surprised that it messes up sometimes 

Yes TI-connect is the best in terms of ease of use but really If someone were to rewrite TILP so it didn't fail so much that would be the best solution. All the linking routines are there they would just need to rewrite the GUI so it its more user Friendly.

o.O;

Lol

TI-Connect gets a lot of bad rap when it doesn't really deserve it. I've never had a problem with it, personally.

My biggest gripe was that by version 1.5 they dropped compatibility with 8xg files sent originally from TI-Graph Link and when sent on the calc the first program is almost always corrupted. This can cause a lot of problems when it comes to sending old BASIC games to your calc using it. For example in the Reign Of Legends 3 if you run the launcher you get ERR:UNDEFINED and if you try to delete the program the calculator crashes and you get a RAM Cleared messages. Most BASIC games that were originally sent from TI-Graph Link software must be ungrouped on the computer first, then all individual files sent to the calc separately. This was a big problem with games using hacked picture variables like Zelda Dark Link Quest or Reuben 2. The entire install procedure had to be redone to allow the game to be sent to the calc using TI-Connect and the readme rewritten.

When I had version 1.2 and 1.3 I never got any problems with TI-Graph Link 8xg files.

Besides that I only got two problems. Last winter it stopped being able to detect my TI-83+ mysteriously, even if I changed no settings/cables at all. Now I can use TI-Connect fine with all my calcs except the 83+ models, from which I am only able to get screen captures now, else it says Device Not Found and since the 83+ version of TI-Graph Link crashes all the time on my XP install (unlike TI-GL 82, 85, 86 and 92) I have to use TiLP for 83+ transfer now. I guess it's a trojan/virus or something...

Other problem I got is that I can't listen to music during file transfer with TI-Connect, because everytime I send files using it if I am listening to music at the same time it kills my computer sound and to get sound again I have to reboot. I am unsure why it interacts like this with my soundcard/sound drivers/whatever...

Other than these issues it does the job fine. I prefer TI-Connect way to transfer files. I just have to right click on files and send to TI device

I'm sure better methods exist, but TI-Connect wasn't so bad I'd gor for TiLP. im too used to it.

Suddently, TI-Connect decided to recognise my TI-83+ regular again! Idk how it got fixed though, but I got it to work again after trying to make it detect my regular TI-83

Well, a year ago I had installed the TI-Connect version previous to this newest one (it had the program editor). And when I had uninstalled it, I couldn't install any version of TI-Connect! I had deleted everything from my pc that had TI (including the registry files)..Had to reformat, that was my worst experience..

But last week it wouldn't recognize my 83+SE, then now it is...Weird, I still love it though!
