I have not updated my Radio Shack Pro-95 scanner in while. Had a different pc windows 9 the last time.
Today tried to "Upload to Scanner" on my current Windows 10 PC getting "Unable to open the port: \\.\COM6

Ideas?

Disregard...I found a thread that talked about the Win95 software "Configuration", went to Serial Port, changed to COM Port 5 and all is well!

What software are you using and did you install the driver for the cable? Which cable are you using? The PRO-95 needs the mono adapter on the end of the cable.
