Picaxe not recognized by my computer?
I ran the driver on the CD, I didnt check the website though, is there a new driver on it? If so could someone link to it, and how do I know if the picaxe controller works if I dont plug it into my computer?

Btw I am running VISTA
Ah I should've guessed!
Ah I should've guessed! Yes Vista can be a pain. According to rev-ed, the drivers were tested with Vista as well, you should use the same driver as the XP driver. Re-install the latest from the website and see if it works.
Also, is the port recognized by Vista? Do you see the COM port in the device manager? Lets try to solve this one step at a time

Here's what you should
Here's what you should do:
Plug in the usb cable into the usb port
Windows will detect this and popup a message asking for a driver
Always use the drivers from the website, not the CD. That way you'll get the latest
Once the driver is installed, connect the battery to the picaxe and then the usb
Do the hello world blinky thingy to test and click run, the code should get downloaded to the chip and the led should start flashing
If this doesn't work, be more specific and I'll walk you through the steps. Do mention what Windows you are using (XP, Vista, etc).
