Calculators Troubleshooting TI-89 Connection to Windows 7 PC

AI Thread Summary
Connecting a TI-89 calculator to a Windows 7 computer can be problematic due to driver recognition issues with the TI Connect software. Users have reported that the software fails to recognize the calculator, likely due to missing drivers. It is recommended to download the latest version of TI Connect from the Texas Instruments website, ensuring compatibility with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. If issues persist, uninstalling the old software before installing the new version may help. Additionally, for users with a 64-bit operating system, it is noted that Texas Instruments does not provide support for this configuration. An alternative software option, TiLP, is suggested for those facing difficulties with TI Connect.

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?

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
