I don't know enough to know what's going on or what's not working.  I have a TI-84+ (no idea if it's silver edition or not), and I can't get TiLP to connect to it.

Laptop is Windows 7 64 bit Pro
I had the TI software on there first, but uninstalled it when i found out that it wouldn't do what I wanted (suck a ROM out of my calculator).

Right now the calculator shows up as Other Devices, TI-84 Plus in Device manager.  I've tried searching the TiLP and GTK folders for drivers and neither windows nor I can find them.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, no change.

When TiLP starts up, it does not see the calculator, nor does the "ready?" seem ready (ironic eh?).

All the documentation refers to things that I can't find explanations on.  I have a regular USB mini cable since the calculator has a builtin USB port.

This guide seems comprehensive, but I can't make it work.

How can I suck a ROM image out of my calculator on Windows 7 64 bit?
