[shakins]

You just answered your own question m8 OS is "operating system".

yours is windows xp.

you need to follow the link posted by Lola471 and download the drivers for windows xp.

USB to Serial Adapter driver downloads and documentation

done what a said and installed the driver but com still saying the driver for this device is not reconised..once ive downloaded the driver does it up date on its own or do i have to update it my self.and how.im so crap at this.

Found this in another thread posted by "LOLa471"



I used Windows Vista and the USB-Serial adapter (?2.99) from Amazon said only for Windows XP and below, but it worked. (If you are struggling with drivers, google: "PL-2303 32-Bit Vista Driver Installer")

Just make sure under the COMs port settings you set:
Baud rate to 115,200 from 9600
Change COM# from any # to either 1 or 2

Good luck.

how do change the daud rate cant seem to fint it on port settings

I am no expert myself m8 but will try to help.

Once you have downloaded the driver save it to somewhere easy to find like desktop and unpack it.

restart computer

1. Plug in USB connector to USB port.
2. The "Add New Hardware WIzard" should appear (if not, then you can open the wizard from the Control Panel)
3. Click "Next"
4. Select "Search for the best driver for your device"
5. Click "Next"
6. Windows will ask you to specify the location of the driver. Please select "Specify a location"
7. Use "Browse" to find the driver in the file you unpacked and saved on the desktop or wherever the file is located on your hard drive
8. Click "Next"
9. You're done

do you have a usb to seriel convertor?
where did you get it?
didd you get a driver disk with it?

[Pad578]

Sorry Shakins but I spent 2 days trying to install several different drivers but with no success.

I overcame it by getting one of these from a friend who only had it as it came with his alianware pc., all I know is it is a serial port and made by "FOXCONN" I dont know the technical term for it and have been looking around trying to find somewhere that sells them but no luck.

with one of these you dont need drivers as it is not run by windows just the power from the motherboard.

You could try one of these or one similar if you just cant get the USB adaptor to work.
