Did you remove the device from Device Manager - unhook the device - remove
any software related to the device, reboot and try the steps again?

Thanks for replying so quickly!

I tried what you requested and still no luck. The problem is that before,
when I had no drivers, software or anything installed related to the
calculator, windows at least recognized the name of the Device (when I
plugged it in it would say "found TI-84 calculator"), but now, even after
trying to reinstall the software for IT Connect, Windows is not even getting
the name of the device, and it's labeled "unknown device". I assume this is
because after the calculator turned off during an OS installation, all data
was wiped which may be needed for windows to know anything about the device.

Hmm.. unfortunately I don't know where to go from here - but perhaps someone
here:

might..

Have you tried "Updating" the drivers of the unknown device with those for
the calculator?
