hp50g and windows 7 (64 bit) connectivity problems

[mbeddo]

I installed the conn4x program that came on the CD. Used the USB cable that came with the HP50g to plug into PC. I started Xmodem and have the "Waiting for command". The conn4x program can't find the calculator. I looked through the documentation on the CD but can't find anything about linking to a PC.

The conn4x help topic mentions setting I/O parameters. I don't know much (yet) about this calculator, so I don't know how to inspect/set these.

Will the hp50g and windows 7 64-bit even play nice with each other? I've become very confused with Google searches. Am I even using the correct connectivity program (version 2.3 build 2439)? I realize that this is an old calculator and I may be out of luck.

Would be nice to have screen captures, though.
