Dear Marty,
Thank you for responding to my cry for help.
I have used my 64bits Windows 10 PC. I have installed PothosSDR-2019.06.09-vc14-x64.exe
I run the LimeSuite. Click “Options”, click “Connection Settings” and nothing comes up in the window.
I go to Device Manager. Under the title “Other devices” (not under the heading USB devices) is “LimeSDR-USB”. I click on “LimeSDR-USB” and get the message:
The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device
To find a driver for this device click Update driver.
I click “Update driver” and select online searching. It starts searching online and after 10 minutes it has found nothing.
I then start USBview. A device is connected with an exclamation sign indicating something is not working. When I click on it I get the data from the enumeration and they are:

I appears to me that the USB enumeration fails, but I am not an expert in that. the parameters iManufacturer, iProduct and iSerialNumber look empty.
I have not tried to reload the FX3 software yet using the CyUSB suite. Do you have the software to reload the FX3 correctly in a form suitable for “dummies”?
Please, I need your help to either make my LimeSDR-USB work or conclude, that it is broken.
Regards,
Jorgen
