Computer doesn't detect GPIB-RS232

  I have a GPIB-RS232 that's part of a stage controller system.  6 months ago, there were no problems detecting and sending commands to the stage through GPIB, however another coworker of mine has been using the system since then and now when I've tried to use it, the computer cannot communicate with the stage controller.  I've looked up help on the GPIB-RS232 and noticed that only the power light is on on my GPIB-RS232 - the RDY light is off.  I'm not sure if the problem is the set-up of the computer or something wrong with the GPIB-RS232 unit.  Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

A few things to check. Make sure all the drivers are still there in MAX. Also maybe try to run the software that came with the convertor and make sure it is set up.
