Driver will charge no serial port USB (Prolific)

What has changed in Windows 7, which does not allow me to use USB ports "Legacy" series.

What was the logic to change something that worked very well until the "Expurts" (note the spelling) changed something that worked perfectly fine before they have tinkered (for no known reason)

I downloaded 'New' drivers but still get a yellow warning in Device Manager and the ports do not work.

I have various manufacturers comm ports and none works - drivers do not correctly load under Windows 7.

Download the "correct" drivers on the net does not work.

Unfortunately, my laptop was bought with Windows7 Home Basic pre-installed and it has been nothing but a pain of the day 1.

I can't install XP on my system and I want to run a system dual boot I put on level - at my expense - not cheap!

I'm starting to lose faith in Microsoft and as engineer of experience from before the existence of Windows, I'm a little upset to say the least.

Please can I have a solution to this problem.

I am coding in Visual C version 6/8 and can not test in a Windows 7 environment.

XP SP3 works like a dream and is definitely my OS of choice.

Hello

That you are coding in Visual C, I would suggest that you post your question in the MSDN Support Forum because it is better suited for the IT audience Pro on MSDN.

  • How to access a host USB Virtual Serial Port from a VM Application?

    I have a Linux VM running under VMware Player 5.0.2 on a Linux host machine.   I have a development system running on the computer, virtual trying to download the code on an external device connected via a virtual serial port USB host (ttyACM0).   Anyone doing programming Arduino device will be familiar with my software/hardware config.  Dev VM system does not directly hear the ttyACM0 port I need to establish some sort of connection bridge between "ttyACM0" host port and the port of VM-configured "ttySx"?   Someone did something like this with a VM Player?

    FYI, I found the answer to my own question in an old post on a similar topic. Here's a response provided by the user 'Worker' in the former post office that was the solution to my problem.  I followed its general approach and mounted my own virtual *.vmx machine configuration file to change the serial port set of ' / dev/ttyS1 "to" / dev/ttyACM0 ' I can now download code on my device directly from the Arduino IDE running on the guest VM system.

    9 re: USB serial adapter - / dev/ttyUSB0 serial not a device?

    Worker (1 positions since November 23, 2010) November 23, 2010 12:56 am (in response to AnthonySowden)

    A bit of an old thread here, but I wanted to say that I was able to do exactly this yesterday using VMware Server 2.

    It wasn't easy, but I managed to hack in there.  I guess that this trick works also on VM WS but I have not yet tested.

    Here are the steps:

    Start your VM turned off.

    Add a serial port of your virtual machine through the normal interface. -J' I just let it use/dev/ttyS0.

    Go to your virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx config file.

    Find the line:

    Serial0.filename = ' / dev/ttyS0 ".

    Replace:

    Serial0.filename = "/ dev/ttyUSB0 '.

    and off you go.  The guest operating system sees it as a real physical serial port and is fortunately out my system through series console!

    Hope that helps other people.

    Hello!

    What version of Java are you using ("Ai2" or "ai2 last developer version ')? In the latter case, you would not be able to open the serial port using Connector.open.

    In case if it is just ai2 it should be possible. An adjustment to the installation, you should do, however. In the file jwc_properties.ini please change the property deviceaccess.uart.prefix of/dev/ttyAMA/dev/ttyUSB (Please note that there is no '0')

  • VISA from read/write to serial port - unable to implements several orders of writing!

    Hello

    I'm new to Labview and I'm reading from a pressure through a virtual serial port USB sensor. I am able to read the port when you use HyperTerminal

    The code sequence that I should write to the port in order to obtain measurements using hyperterminal is the following:

    ' *' (2A hex)-online start and the responses of the port by asking 'Command', I should then enter

    FF-online measurement select the port must ask the 'mode', so I should enter

    0 has-online measurement of high resolution mode and it was then that I should start receiving action.

    The port is always answer by errors when I write the start command or the FF one. I tried to establish a sequence stacked to write the three commands then read the port, I added some delay between the three of them, but it does not work.

    Now I made really simple and removed the stacked sequence and just put the three commands one after the other and try to remedy not to not on the code.

    I'm really stuck at this point, could someone help me please? I read a lot fo articles on the forum, but I can't solve this problem

    Thank you

    I have attached my VI and the SCP1000 documentation (I can provide other versions of my demo if necessary)

    The reason for your problem is a frequent misunderstanding even among experienced programmers. Take a look at this thread

    http://forums.NI.com/NI/board/message?board.ID=170&thread.ID=417750

    In your data sheet, then they return codes like 0xFF or 0x0A so has a single byte of average value. Then you in your-active code constant writing FF\n is so this equal to values in format hexadecimal 46460A and your instrument do not understand. But it will include FF0A. In order to solve your problem, you would type in \FF\n in your '-' chain helped codes. Remember too, if you type in \32 it will be converted to character 2 this being 0 x 32 50 decimals and code ASCII 50 is equal 2

    Take the time and change the display format of string between '-' display and Hex display and you will see the difference

    Hope this helps

  • Lack of Z - 400 serial port

    Hello

    I have a number of product Z-400 SG637UC #ABA

    Just updated to the latest version of the BIOS, was 1.17, I think.

    Manual maintenance and each user's guide I can find a reference to the serial port header (15-pin) construction which

    My motherboard has.

    However, I can't understand how to turn it on.  The security settings of the Bios do not list the serial port, and the Advanced Settings tab lists only the floppy drive and not the serial port.

    Are the parties other than the header not installed on the motherboard on this particular product number?

    Do not connect the pins of the rider 2 header and tell the BIOS the material is there?

    PIN 12 of the 15-pin header is labeled 'detect the com' on page 168 of the Z-400 maintenance manual.  I do not think it is a standard pins for communications series name.  Is it being stretched up or down to activate the port?

    I don't particularly want to spend money for the "2nd serial" material, when the first serial port is not working.

    Thanks for any help.

    PM

    AP_M,

    The Z400 has a 2 x 8 serial port header, you have found.  To access the serial port, one needs the HP, the PA716A Option kit serial port adapter.  This kit, described here, has a small PCB attached to a PCI card and cable to the PCB of the card mother Z400.  This PCB contains the RS232 serial port transceiver integrated circuit, so it is necessary to make the serial port work - a straight through cable from the motherboard to a will of connector serial port not working, to not try.

    Option kit that pa716a can be ordered as an option Z420.  The kit is not listed for the Z400, but the Z400 (and many other HP computers) use the same kit.

    To answer your technical questions:

    -IIRC, Windows requires masking devices that are not accessible.  That's why the serial port does not appear in the device without this option installed kit Manager.

    -12 axis, as you can imagine, is a "detect the com' which tells the system that the serial port kit is installed.  He is shot down (the Earth) when the cable attached to the motherboard.

    -If you want to experiment and see if the serial port becomes active, turn off the Z400, then put a jumper between the P52 12 serial port connector pin and ground.  Soil is on pins 8 and 7.  (The pins are numbered with strange pins on one side (row) and evens on the other kind of pin 2 pin 1 opposite.)  To determine which line is even or odd, pin 16 is the last pin and the missing key on the 'same' line).

    Then turn on the system.  After the Earth axis 12, the serial port should appear in the BIOS settings and certainly in the windows.

    * I think this is how it works, I have tried for a long time. **

    Does that answer your questions?

  • USB to Serial Port - Code 1, the driver Installation

    I have problems to install a USB driver for a USB Serial Port. In the divece Manager (Serial Port (COM & LPT) CODE of ERROR 1) appears an exclamation point and there is an option to reinstall the driver, but windows is unable to complete the installation. Please, help, thank you

    In Device Manager, delete all references to this port (remove entries) so it's as if the port did not even exist.

    Then click on start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and have it look for new hardware devices.  If all goes well it will go to the Port and ask drivers.  If it is not, select the option to find the device, and then select USB Serial Port (or which option he plans that comes closest).  Follow the procedures.  Try to install the drivers now that Device Manager is clean and if all goes well they will now install and you're ready to go.

    I hope this helps.

Help, please. Thank you

    Hi Mike,.

    Just to follow up with you on that, that very well may be the cause. Especially when it comes to mobile phones, the real cable you use is very important to have all the features when it is plugged into a computer. Where you can try a new USB cable yet, I hope that whoever is completely compatible with this phone.
  • virtual serial port? Vista 64-bit, usb, palm 755 p verizon dongle

    I have a new Vista 64 bit operating system and I'm having problems that everyone else is still.  Can't hotsync using the cable.  I bought the dongle bluetooth (Kensington) that many have said works.  My phone recognizes the PC.  My instructions on the phone that warm using bluetooth synchronization tells me to set up a virtual serial port.  The instructions are not very clear.  This is where it falls apart for me.  Can someone explain how to configure this virtual serial port?  Thank you.

    Well, I'm pleased to announce a successful solution.  On the recommendation of some other son that I left and piece and ioGear GBU321 Bluetooth USB key and Setup was a snap and it works (although SLOOOWLY compared to a connection cable, a while and plug your treo during your first sync).

    To setup you do the following (and this can also work for your Kensington):

    • Insert the driver CD
    • Insert the dongle when asked.
    • Install the drivers
    • Pair your device.  Basically, go to the configuration Bluetooth on the Palm screen and select "Trusted Devices".  You will find the bluetooth adapter, select it, and then the Palm or PC will provide or ask a pairing code.  The instructions will guide you through, but basically, you'll want to make sure that the same numbers are registered on both screens (this prevents you from accidentally pairing with some random near the computer)
    • This will actually set up your virtual port for you.
    • You can go to the hotsync Manager and click on "serial" and select the port created in the pairing process.
    • If you don't know which port has been created "Control Panels" and select "Phone and Modem" (assuming that you are in "Classic view").
    • Click on the modem tag and you will see something like 'Standard Modem over Bluetooth link' and next to that it will be the assigned port.

    I hope this helps.  I know that I was relieved not to have to trash my Palm or my PC (although when the Pre or iPhone with a physical keyboard comes out all bets are open)

  • USB to Serial Port Adapter

    Hi, my laptop is not a serial port.

    If I want to connect to some hardware using RS-232, RS-485, CANBUS etc, will I have problems using a serial USB adapter?

    When I was programming PIC microcontrollers, we were told not to use adapters to program the PIC. I found this a little confusing because the signal from the adapter must be identical to what would come of a serial port. I don't know what is the reason.

    Are there any known issues using a serial USB with hardware adapter (specifically the sbRIO-9651 reference carrier I use and also just in general) or I would be fine to use it?

    I have a box of NI USB - 232 which will stop working.  Not sure if it's a loop of mass or something with signals through it, but... Yes, they didn't last real long in my experience.  (It was years ago, I sent a bunch of back, don't know if improvements have been made since that time.)

    IOGear GUC-232 has and from SILabs CP2102/MAX3232 work well for me. never had a problem with those.  Anything FTDI is solid, beware fake chips with this manufacturer.

    7Fh has a HID-UART chip available (CP2110), which works well on machines that have restricted permissions for driver installation.

  • drivers for USB to serial port cable

    I am trying to install drivers for a USB cable to serial port on a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop (Windows 7) - I go through the download and when I plug the cable of the toolbar displays a sequence of installation but then an error of installation failed. I tried all sorts of updates and Windows says that it cannot verify the signature of the device.

    Would have been nice to know exactly what you had already tried :-)

    I do not know what adapter you are using, but I have a Trendnet TU-S9 that I use to connect my OBDII code reader to my PC, so I can save the CEL errors that I receive on different vehicles. I thought I had the drivers for it installed, but I have not (could not even find on a HARD drive). But I plugged it in just to see what happened. The message was that no local driver could be found, I wanted to try Windows Update? I said yes, and installed a "Prolific USB - to - Serial Comm Port (COM3)". Plugged the code reader, started the PC-Link software and here!, everything was good.

    You could try to uninstall anything that you have already installed, restart, then connect the adapter and see if you have the same success. I use Win7 HP x 86, but Vista should at least try to do the same thing, and who knows, it might work :-)
