w7 does not recognize pyboard as a serial port

[bps]

I've set up my new pyboard. WINDOWS 7 recognizes it as a flash drive which is ok. It does not recognize the board as a serial port and did not assign it a COM port. I tried to update the driver as instructed by the online tutorial. It didn't work. Can anyone help me? I cannot use REPL.

Pyboard serial port drive is in PYBFlash disk: pybcdc.inf.

Thank you. I knew that; however WINDOWS will, for some reason, not do anything with it. What do I need to do?

Now I've set things up on an old XP machine. Everything went smoothly except for one thing. Putty will not open a session. The baud rate is set at 9600. Is this correct? Do I need to change any settings?

The baud rate does not matter for the PyBoard interface. You should verify which COM port is assigned. You can see that in the device manager of Windows.

I've done that. I know the COM port. I entered into putty. It did not open the connection. Of course, there was no error message. Could you suggest a reason why it couldn't open a session and/or the port?

Make sure that flow control is set to None.

Thank you. t worked on my old, mangy XP machine. Soon I'll try it on W7. Once again, thanks for your suggestion.

I met the same problem in win7 x64, and my board can work in MACBOOK。
Have you solved it?
