<DIV>Make sure you go into the driver details and make notes</DIV>
<DIV>about the version and date. That will keep your head from</DIV>
<DIV>spinning around should the driver for your counterfeit chip</DIV>
<DIV>become replaced. Another thing you can do is stop your</DIV>
<DIV>internet connection when installing these daily updates.</DIV>
<DIV>It will prevent Windopes 7 from trying to install the latest</DIV>
<DIV>WHQL drivers from the Microsoft repository. I'm not certain</DIV>
<DIV>but once you do that the driver installer may present your </DIV>
<DIV>with dialog stating 'no newer driver could be found, keep the</DIV>
<DIV>current driver?' I've seen so many of these kinds of dialog from</DIV>
<DIV>installers it's hard to keep them all memorized. </DIV><BR>

<DIV>Unless your programming cable has a genuine Prolific usb-to-serial chip
in it (most cheap cables have a counterfeit chip), the updated driver will
detect the counterfeit chip and stop working. You must continue to use the
older driver that does not perform this check.</DIV>
