<br></blockquote></div>I sounds like you might be running Windows 7 or 8
and the driver got updated. If you have a cable with an unauthorized
copy of a Prolific chip (many do), then you must use an older driver
(v3.2.0.0). Visit the Miklor.com website and follow the instructions on
the "USB Cables and Drivers" page to for instructions on how to determine if you
have the correct driver installed and how to install it if you don't.<br><br>Jim KC9HI</div></div>
