Prolific USB-to-Serial Driver

[rc50won]

Has anyone found a version of this driver to work on W7?

Thanks!:huh:

I have that installed for using my mobile phone usb to serial cable... Windows installed it automatically.

I found it with a web search. If I remember right, it was on the Prolific web site. Of course, it was not for Win7, but if memory serves, I set it for XP or Vista and it installed OK.

Bye.

Did you set the installer for XP or Vista compatibility? I'm pretty sure I had to do that. I also set for Run As Administrator.

Yes Vista Compatibility and set to run as Admin. The installer runs then about 15 seconds after it appears to be finished I get this error:
Can't copy INF file.
Failed to Install

It was on my vista system that I downloaded to Win7 and seems to be working OK

This is the driver that is not working for me.

Is there another older version that might work?

Thanks!

When you try to install it manually and tell windows to search online for driver, it doesn't find it? For me it installed that way. Anyway, I zipped the driver ,you didn't say for what you are using it, so I don't know if it will work for you, but ,you can try to install manually it from this folder, just unzip

When I installed it on my Vista machine I had to runh it as Administrator and turn OFF security in the properties menu.

I have problem with an U232-P9 driver for windows 7 x64 RTM

 

[AndyB]

I'm having an issue with 64 bit Vista and 7. Any time I use it I get a BSOD with MULTIPLE_IRP_REQUESTS error. I even commented on Prolific's site about how it sucks and they emailed me acting like they had no idea.

got it to work in windows 7

This is how I got to connect my older Nokia 6103 to sync with Outlook in win7. Surprisingly it was not the latest build of the driver found on the prolific website that was compatible with win7 that worked for me. I went here instead: Windows Vista driver for prolific chip USB Serial Adapters
and got the vista version. Even though it did not ask for a reboot, I did so because of the nature of serial ports and it installed successfully. It still did not recognize the phone until I change the com port from no. 1 to 3 that it did work. Cheers!

THANK YOU!

exactly what I needed!

 

[mcaktas]

I did all the things you all said but it did not work.
I am using Windows 7 RTM version 64 bit os
When I installed the driver it says "This device can not start"
I really need help
Thank you

Same problems I'm having. I've tried every compatibility mode too. Now my machine says the best driver is already installed even after I've uninstalled everything and deleted manually through the registry.

It sucks that I have a machine here on my desk strictly for this stupid adapter.

This driver doesn't work for you?
