Hi there, I hope you can help me. I have a USB to serial converter cable that I am trying to use on my laptop which has Windows Vista on it. When I plug the cable in, Vista will recognise it and go off looking for a driver, which it never finds. I have downloaded 4 generic drivers and Vista still will not install any of them. If I go into device manager, the cable appears under other devices and just says that a driver has not been loaded. I have lots of different ways of installing drivers but to no avail. Has anybody encountered the same problem? Any solutions or suggestions? Kind Regards, Jay.
do you have a manufacturer or model number of the device? is it just a cable or is it an external device?
Hi there, It's just a USB to serial converter cable with a null modem cable for doing software updates on my TV box. Its pretty much a generic cable. Nothing special about it. Kind Regards, Jay.
yes please post as much info about it as possible...even a picture if you can't find a manufacturer or model number

you say that you are running vista on your laptop. according to the above system requirements it doesn't list vista as a supported operating system. if you have access to another computer with XP, try it on that computer and see if it works.
