Hi I have a revo and cannot connect to vista laptop. I am using prolific serial usb cable which has found and installed its own driver. I have set it to com2 and installed psiwin 2.3.3 and looks for revo on com2. it wil turn on the revo but won t get full comms. no error messages or problems, but no comms. I have used the cable successfully on xp laptop so i know it will work. Any ideas please ?

The Insignia NS-PU99501 USB to serial (RS-232) converter cable should be a plug and play item with Windows 7 and 8. This assumes an active internet connection and Windows Update is set to search for drivers for new devices. See https://www.insigniaproducts.com/pdp/NS-PU99501/5883029 and go to the Support & Downloads tab to find the manual and the driver for a Macintosh OS.

The Prolific chipset in this Insignia device is the PL2303. For other Windows versions, try http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=225&pcid=41 for the driver.

I hope this helps. You may need to check the chipset suffix with the tool on the above Prolific support site.

Try to install drivers from disc.

GPSdetected as a Serial-Mouse, Mouse Pointer jumping crazy. How to disable theSerial Mouse in Win OS: Some Windows OS (2000 or XP ....) will detect the usb GPS Receiveras a Serial Mouse. The mouse pointer keeps jumping crazy. It seems it is the USB Com-port conflictproblem. Some software will occupy the com-port even you have disconnected itshardware USB Cable. Uninstall all unused USB Devices' Driver. Even after un-install those not necessary USBDevice Driver, some may still occupy a com-port. Open the Window System Managerlogin the hardware table. If you found some com-ports are occupied by some unknowndevices just delete it. After that re-install the PL2303 driver: (USB to Serial Bridgedriver: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 ) Then test the GPS Receiver in differenceUSB port.

uses the Prolific 2305 chipset, you can download the drivers from the Prolific website. Directly. The 2305 will not work with any operating system higher then Windows 7.

I have a Dynex Dx-UBDB9 Serial-USB cable that did not work in
Windows7 and downloaded this driver:

PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_10311.z ip

It even worked on my 64bit system.
good luck

Also,
Remember to unplug anything plugged into your USB ports, install the software, reboot the computer, plug in
the USB-Serial Cable (but disconnect it from what it is attached too, ie, a GPS unit), and windows7 should recognize it.

then plug in your GPS, modem, or what ever is plugged into the serial-end of the cable and you should be good to go.

If all else fails, let Windows7 try find the driver for you, Windows7 is much improved.

u just uninstall and install again,hen u nstalig the printer mae sure ur usb port is unpluged after installing plug the usb,and in printer setting make ur printer as default printer,just try

I purchased the Nikkai USB to RS232 adapter from Maplin and could not get the device working. (Maplin staff not much help!) The lead uses the Prolific PL-2303 device but Prolific do not supply the drivers to end users.
However I found the drivers that appear to work at:

http://www.cooldrives.com/wividrforprc.html

This then recognises the lead as a COM port. So far everything seems to work OK.
(Null modem check and basic 9600 data transfer.)

I hope that helps everybody.
