How do I configure the drivers so the PC can talk to the navX?

Is this a Windows system? The NavX should show up as a COM device. My best guess from your description is that the USB cable you are using doesn't support data and just does power but I could be wrong.

Scott Libert (Of NavX fame) is competing with his team this weekend so I don't think you'll get an official response until next week but I would try it with a different USB cable.
