I came across a post of yours on a Google group from 2012 when you were helping someone with a similar problem, you mentioned selecting 'USB Calculator' for the 'Connect using' option in Conn4x which prompted me to see what it offered other than Auto.

Fantastic! Glad I could (indirectly) provide some assistance. So many options, so few brain cells to remember them (speaking of me, not you of course). I do connect to my 50g with Conn4x set to "Auto", so that wouldn't have been my first guess. But it obviously made a difference this time.

I'm just pleased that these connections can still be made and that current Windows versions can still support them. I know that won't last indefinitely, but I'll take it while it's available.
