This should help you install the drivers so that your calculator can communicate with your computer (Windows-based). Please read the post to the end. If you have any problem, post a comment to this thread.
Install TI Connect 1.6 for Windows then try connecting the calculator to the computer using the TI SilverLink cable (if you have one). It goes into the Round IO port.
If you do not
have a USB SilverLink
cable, you can use the
mini USB to USB
Direct cable but you will have
to install the correct driver for it.
I do not know what
computer operating system you are running and I use Windows XP so I will
describe the
installation procedure for Window XP SP3.
Install
TI connect 1.6
for Windows; if your system is Vista you must install a patch available
on the TI website, at the same page where you find TI Connect.
After
you install TI Connect, connect you calculator to the computer with the
mini USB standard USB
Direct cable. Windows
will detect the calculator and will try to install the drivers. You will
have something that is similar to what is on the three
screen captures I am inserting in the post. On the last screen, choose
the TI Educational Handheld device and click next.
i states than there is - cabe7ac.jpgsrc="/uploads/images/cabe7ac.jpg" alt="cabe7ac.jpg" class="h_mi" />
When
Windows asks to stop installation, clii states than there is - be44bb9.jpg anyway 
After the installation, click finish.
Device manager will show
you something like what is i states than there is - 4e495b4.jpgeen (TI Educational Handheld
device) 
Run TI Connect to verify that the calculator is
recognized. Connect your computer to the Internet and click the Updates
Button on the TI Connect tool bar.
Verify that the I/O port (the
round one) does not contain any foreign material. Also, for
transferring files batteries must be in excellent condition.
Suggestion: If you are able to establish communication with the calculator through TI Connect software, you should consider upgrading the OS to version 2.53 MP. It is a major upgrade for the OS of TI84Plus (not the TI83Plus).
