try the Alpha Demo with the display.... make sure all other programs that may use the serial port are off... then do a manual override on the display (see manual) and try again.

the alph demo won't let me choose a port, it tries to open port 5 on startup. is there a file that i can delete that will remove port 5 as the prefrance. i tried uninstalling and re-instlling but that didn't work.
