Epson Projectors BEWARE!!!

[meastaugh1]

We have plenty of Epson projectors here and I've had a very positive experience with them. The lamps have a 3 year warranty when the projectors are used in economode.

Where it is only the serial that is long enough we are in the process of using a USB to Serial Adapter to use it on which fixes the problem.

The 1st issue you mentioned was that the driver found another com port (internal or bt) that it tried to connect to. We then defaulted it to com 1 so if you do the same it should be ok.

As for the usb hid device (I can do this with my eyes closed)
there will be a driver released by the end of the month that will be
1. Signed by M$
2. MSI deployable.

I will post when ready.
