How do I change the prolific com port device driver 4 to the com port 1

original title: prolific device driver

When I installed Prolific he assigns the device on com port 4.  I need to assign to com port 1.  If I change my computer 4 to port 1 of the model by using the Device Manager does not recognize the software that I use.  The software must have port 1 affected first comp.

Hi domjoseph,

1 do you have. what prolific device installed?

2. What is the model number?

3. have you installed the driver for the device?

If it helps, try the step below and check out them.

(a) open Device Manager.

(b) right-click on the prolific device and click Properties.

(c) click the "Port Settings" tab, click on the button "Advanced".

(d) pull down the scroll down bar on the left side and select COM 1 (NOTE: choose one that does not say 'in service' next to him). Click on 'OK '.

(e) click "OK" again Note that the device will be displayed as being on the same COM port as it was before but will be displayed on the new port, if you close Device Manager, and then open again.

(f) close the Device Manager. You may need to run the software that came with your device to do rescan the COM ports.

For further assistance, contact the vendor of the device for more information.
