How to set up a USB to Serial Drivers for .....XP, Vista, Vista2


USB to Serial Driver -set up Instructions .
================================================== =======
Now you can use serial cables to program from your laptop. Connect your receiver and laptop with this USB-to-serial port adapter.


Please follow the instructions below to set the right COM port:

Setup Instructions

STEP 1: Install the Software

First, download and install the driver for your version of Windows (see above)
Note: there are separate drivers for Windows XP and Windows Vista

STEP 2: Plug-in the Hardware

Connect the USB-to-serial adapter to your PC's USB port, and follow the on-screen instructions

STEP 3: Set the Right COM Port

Right click on MY COMPUTER then click PROPERTIES
Click HARDWARE, then DEVICE MANAGER
Double click PORTS (COM & LPT), and look for PROLIFIC USB-to-SERIAL Comm Port
Double click that to open it
Then click PORT SETTINGS, then ADVANCED
Change the COM PORT NUMBER to COM1
Then click OK
If you get a warning message, click YES
Then click OK, and close DEVICE MANAGER

Finally, restart your PC

Now.... All this being said Vista and use of the USB/Serial Adapter is a big problem. I have yet to get it to work using a "Laptop". I would strongly suggest forgetting the adapter and go with a PCMCIA - RS232 Card.

Windows XP... Works well with the USB/Serial Adapter
