trouble with CE100

Hi, there, Everyone,

I am trying to install the Futura software to run my new (second-hand) CE100. It is an old laptop, running Windows ME. It istalls the sotware OK, but when I try to open it it tells me that the machine is not connected and turned on, when it actually is. there is nothing wrong with the USB port, 'cause I have tried the keyboard on it, and it works fine. From the machine side, it is recognizing that it is hooked to a computer, because the lights stop flashing as soon as I pluf the USB cord in to the computer - but from the software side, it is not recognising it ...

Help, please???

thanks

Does it say that it is compatible with Windows ME?
