Hi

I need assistance in installing a USB to USB Bridge cable

Description:
Windows detected a new device attached to your computer, but could not
find the driver software it needs to make the device usable. Each device
manufacturer typically includes driver software of a CD that comes with the
device, or as a download from its website. The hardware ID of your device is
USB\VID_067B&PID_0000&REV_0000.

Compatibility issue between PL-2301 USB to USB Bridge Controller (EOL) and
Windows

This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of
Windows and PL-2301 USB to USB Bridge Controller (EOL), which was created by
Prolific Technology Inc..



I checked the Prolific website.
They do not have a driver for Windows Vista

Now what else can I do?

If there is no Driver written for Vista, nothing can be done.
A Driver is software program written by the Hardware Manufactuter that
allows their product to "talk" with the operating System, and vica versa.

Ask Prolific for a refund

Thanks!

I am not in a position to ask for a refund

1. Do we have a generic drivers which I can try?
2. I am OK if the bridge cable works in VMware/MS Virtual PC! Has anyone
tried a stunt like this?

Thanks

There is a solution. You can use the compatibility modus. Deinstall the drtiver and software. Before installing again, klick right on the setup file and choose the Compatibility Tab. Check the XP compatibility box. After that right click on the setup file and choose install as Administrator. Then you can instal the program and driver. Do the same on your second pc or laptop. Now you can use the usb-bridge.
Some items can have other names, because I use the Dutch version of Vista Ultimate.
Please, let me know when it works on your situation.
