Most RC transmitters aren't designed to do anything with a pc, Windows operating system or whatever. Or should that be said differently..... Windows isn't designed to discover unknown periperals and sort out what they are and what they are supposed to be doing with the pc.

Software is written to make special purpose hardware work with pc's. It usually comes with something like G3.5 or FSOne's packages. Those packages not only have the software that prepares the pc's OS for a special peripheral but also an application to use it.

You need something more than a connection to the pc.

The usual process is to install appropriate software before trying to use unique hardware.
