Title: Ti 84 keypad help
Post by: Spanone on September 19, 2010, 11:53:41 pm
I typed out this long explanation, but then the session timed out. so here's the summary of it.


I have xp, I had my ti84 keypad connected(For my ti nspire), messed something up with the drivers. And now it doesn't work.

I have tried reinstalling Ti connect, the driver, and restarting alot in various orders, but I have been able to connect.

I don't know if it's the case or not, but, as a nspire user:

normally when things go badly what you should do:
   ¤ Take batteries off for more than 5 seconds, and then on.
worked? if not go to next ¤
   ¤ reset your calc, i know how painful this is, especially if you haven't backed it all up.
worked? if not go to next ¤
   ¤ use revo unistaller or something like it and remove everything TI-related from you computer, then install again.
worked? if not go to next ¤
   ¤cry for TI support.

//they probably wont help at all.

Hi and welcome here, our apologies for the forum errors lately (especially the 500 Internal Server Error one). Seems like the server on which Omnimaga is hosted is over-crowded now, so we've been looking for solutions to the problem.

Do you have OS 1.1? Because OS 1.1 won't let you send stuff in 84+ mode with TI-Connect. TI-Connect thinks the calc is a TI-89 Titanium

Otherwise I cannot be much help, though :(. Someone might know

Hey I have the same problem. I have 1.1. Is there any way to send it to the 84 emu even though it thinks it's a 89?

I think with TiLP it was possible to force the software to treat the calc as a TI-84+, but I never tried it. You would need to give it a try. Remember that TI-Connect needs to be uninstalled prior installing TiLP and TiLP apparently requires some more chores to work on 64 bit OSes.

Wasn't there something about having to reinstall the drivers every reboot, too? Or maybe it was something else, but it involved having to do something everytime you reboot, when using a 64-bit OS.

I found this useful prgm that lets me "sign" a driver

Is it legal? If so, I am curious what would it be?

Signing a driver is legal. It's also required to load the driver on 64-bit without some nasty system hacks.

would signining the drivers allow people to install TiLP on 64 bit OSes without hassle if the signed copy was included with the linking software, or does the user need to sign the driver every reboot/install?

If there are 64-bit compatible TiLP drivers then yea, signing them would allow you to not reinstall/disable signing every boot.

Ah ok, I'll have to check it out if I ever switch to TiLP.

plus, TI-Connect kills your calc... faster than TILP

Well it was not confirmed but it is very possible that is is very true. I personally want to wait a bit before trying TiLP, though, in case it gives me lots of troubles x.x
