Help with Tams Controller in Windows 11

[Per Olsen]

Hello.

I invested in a new PC for my WinDigiPet layout.  The PC has Windows 11 installed.  I have installed WDP ans updated all configs from my old PC.  All seems to work fine in Office version.

But to make it work in Layout version, I need to install the proper drivers for my Tams controller, and for the 2 LDT HSI-88-USB.  My original CDs for those, do not work in Win 11.  I have searched the net, but have not found any solution.

Can you help me?

Best regards,
Per Olsen.

Hello again.

I have solved the driver-problem with LDT HSI-88 USB drivers, they seem to work now.  But I still need to proper install driver for Tams.  Hope for some help

Regards,
Per.

Hello Per,

you can find the drivers for your tams master control on this page:

https://tams-online.de/epages/642f1858-c39b-4b7d-af86-f6a1feaca0e4.sf/de_DE/?ObjectID=6588559

under "Download" and then "USB-Treiber".
Best to try is the "Win9x" driver of this zip-file.

Hello Michael!

Thank you for your reply.
I followed the link, went to Download.  But I do not find "USB-Treiber" there.  What am I missing..?

Hello again.

Aha, OK!  I clicked on the Download in the list to the left.  But now I have it, so I will download it and try it.

Thank you!

Per.

Hi again.

I have downloaded now, they are actually identical to the drivers on the original CD (as I have here).  It is said to start the PREINSTALLER.EXE, but that displays an error message.  So it is not installed.

I will try some more...

Hello Per,

id could be neccessary to install the drivers "as admin" in win11.

Michael

[Per Olsen]

OK, I will try.

[Per Olsen]

No, it did not work either.  I did find the Tams in the list of unknown USB units on the PC, and I tried to update the driver with the one from the net, but the PC says it cannot find any driver in the Win9x directory

Hi Per,

is there a compatibillity-mode in win11 like win10 has one?

Michael

[Per Olsen]

I don't know.  I bought this PC today, Windows 11 is new to me

[Per Olsen]

I even copied (I did not expect it to work) the driver-files that Tams uses in my old Win10 PC, to my new PC, that did not work either, Win11 still says it cannot find any driver for the Tams controller.

What else can I do?  Must a buy a newer controller to use with WinDigiPet under Windows 11 ?  Hmm...

Hello Per,

my next step would be to contact tams.

https://tams-online.de

At the upper menu "Kontakt" and fill up the form.
