I am trying to use Computer Link and Connect to Class (Vista Home
Premium and 32 bit). My handheld is not recognized and I get a
dialogue box that says "Locate and Install Driver Device
Software"....when I click there I get "Insert the Disc that came with
your TI-Nspire Handheld"....but when I do that nothing happens.

Here is what I would suggest. Uninstall the computer link software
(start button > control pannel > uninstall programs), then go to this
link: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/downloadcenter/SoftwareDetail.do?website=US&tabId=1&appId=6660
Select TI-Nspire Computer Link Software for Windows®, and after it
finishes downloading, run the program to reinstall the computer link
software. Finally, start the software up so it gets to the handheld
selection screen, then plug in your TI-Nspire. You should see the
popup in the bottom right of your screen that says "installing device
driver" or something like that. As soon as it says it was successful,
press the refresh button on the software to have it discover your
device, select it, and press ok. Hopefully this works!

Thank you, Ross. What ended up working was uninstalling both Computer
Link and Connect to Class. When I reinstalled Connect to Class and
got the warning about the driver there was something I clicked on
about having 32 bit...sorry its been a couple days now, I can't
remember. But it worked, and I'm good now!
