Amiga Explorer

[RiP]

Hi everybody!

Amiga Explorer was working fine since yesterday but not anymore.
Now when I try to setup it again, it crashes at this step:

Is the Amiga Explorer "client" running on the Amiga side..?

Yes, sure

You are using USB to COM adater? Have you removed it lately?

Changin it to different usb port changes virtual COM port number.

Go device manager and chec what is COM port number now?

Yes, sure

You cannot run Setup if the Amiga part is already present. Setup is only used to transfer the AExplorer program to the Amiga. If this program is already running on the Amiga, you don't need Setup again.

If you want to change the connection details (BAUD rate or someting), then use Properties instead.

No, it's the native COM1 port of motherboard.

I know, just wanted to see if something is missed or not.
If I remove the cable, it doesn't even pass the first step in Setup.
Don't know what happened

I would suspect a relation to this problem: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71571
Depending on why the mouse port doesn't work, it might be that the serial port doesn't work for the same reason..

But the serial port was working since last week while the mouse port wasn't working before too since many years ago.

Anyway other way to check if the COM port is healthy or not?

No other easy way? or another program except AExplorer?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Um, you could try plugging in any other device, a modem comes to mind, and see if that works? But that won't test all the pins like specific diagnostic hardware would.

Have you tried with a different cable?

I'm sure the problem is AExplorer. It works well in Setup until it wants to copy files.
Any place to get older versions of it? or any other softwares?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

You already said it was working fine until it suddenly stopped. Why do you think an older version would work?
