Are you using a USB>Serial converter? If so try booting your computer with as little connected to it as possible (Even disconnect your mouse if possible and wait until everything boots, this will help assure that the Serial Port gets assigned the lowest number possible). Go to the Device Manager and make sure the port you're connecting to is assigned one of the Com 1-3 ports. If it is not you will have to reassign it or you'll never get it to work properly. Once everything matches up in the control panel, boot the Sony software using the same com port # and all should be good. Best of luck to you!
