I don't blame you, would advise you follow this thread on recovering your knackered boxes;

Also would redownload cwaites channel list, as it sounds like some how your PC has corrupted the file, as others haven't posted about a fault with the channel list.

If you get a prolific USB to Serial adapter the drivers are downloadable. I think you may find them in the download section.

Window 8 & 10 should auto load the drivers.

I would also recommend an adapter with a prolific PL2303HXD chipset as a lot of the cheaper ones don't always work. I used this one:-

On my Win7 pc it downloaded the drivers automatically within a couple of minutes.

Snap, I have the same.

Another thing with these is make sure to use the screws on the Null Modem Cable to attach to the adapter, without them tends to get bad connection hence failure to connect.
