really? I know TI-Connect slows down your computer quite a bit, but it never makes the sounds stop working. That's kinda odd..

It also do something involving wiping a calculator flash page or overwriting it when you send files to your calc, but I don't have much details about this.

iirc, what it was doing was wiping a blank FLASH page for USB transfers, when it didn't even need this flash page. Also, sound disappearing? Only with Ti-Connect!

Ti connect always has problems. From not recognizing calcs to randomly crashing and Also not allowing you to send files that it deems as "bad" (Even though there is nothing wrong with them). I can't even send most of the old programs written for the ti86 to my calc with ti connect because it flags them as bad... go figure. I really love the old graphlink software. Only problem it had was not identifing a calc when it was plugged in, and this could be fixed after a reboot or just disconnecting and reconneting the cable a couple of times. I still don't know why the ditched the graphlink software for ti connect...

I have both the old graphlink hardware and software, plus the silver link and TIconnect. I actually have like 5 of the old black cables...
TI-Connect works for me in 98% of the stuff I need to send and receive to/from my calcs. That other 2% consists of using the 82 and 86, which neither works well with TI-Connect. Actually the 82 does not work at all.

Well I Like tilp2 for nix but on windows it fails and since my new comp is running 64Bit vista I can't use either of them. But yeah ti-connect is working hard at killing your flash pages I think BrandonW said it erased your swap sector a few times for each transfer for no apparent reason. Hence Tilp2 is faster in some cases. But yeah to tell the truth is the both suck.
