Troubleshooting TI-89 Connection to Windows 7 PC

[Dante Tufano]

Okay, so I'm trying to connect my TI-89 to my computer (I run windows 7 by the way) so I can put notefolio files on the calculator. I have the CD and usb that comes with the calculator, and used those to connect to the computer and download the TI connect software.

This is where the problems started, TI connect wouldn't recognize the software. I figured it was because there was no driver installed, but when I go to the driver files folder that comes with the TI connect software, my computer can't detect any drivers. Nor can it find them online, so my my computer doesn't recognize the calculator.

Please, does anybody know how I can get my TI-89 connected and working?

Have you tried downloading a more recent copy of TI Connect?
http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productDetail/us_ti_connect.html

It should be compatible with Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit flavours):

You may need to uninstall the old software before installing the new one.

Is your OS 64 bit? If so, texas instruments does not support 64 bit OS yet.
