 Cbm4Win problem (help me!)

After some months, I tried to transfer files to a CBM drive, but it nomore works!
In the last weekend I tried hundreds of attempts, without success. I did change the drive, I connected the Plus4 to the serial chain too, in order to reset the line without to use the [reset] function of Cbm4win, but noway (
In brief the PC utility never "see" the connected drive, even if it is reset by the PC boot (then the connection is good).

Since my current projects need to use a real Plus4, I'm stopped by this problem. Then I ask you, my friends, to help me, with your suggestions and tips.
My system is a P3000 with XP SP2. I noticed odd behaviors of "cmd" and "command" keyword on the PC.

TIA

Hi mate,

I have seen this happen quite alot. Have you tried the following commands?

Type "cd exe"
Type "instcbm --check"

or

Type "cd exe"
Type "instcbm --update"

or

Type "instcbm --remove"
Then reinstall it.

I find one of these commands gets the program working with the Commodore drive.

Regards,

Chris

Thank you for the reply.
I've tried the "cbminst --remove" or "cbminst --check" but system gives me error messages saying that the file was not found!
Furthermore, if I type "cmd" from Run menu of WinXP, it only loads as resident, the module cmd.exe WITHOUT to open the edit window.

Have you tried these test programs to see if your cables are working?
