KUSB - Vista Issues

Vk2NU
Hi All,

Just installed a KUSB to run my K3, but it doesn't seem to want to install
correctly under Vista.

I've tried just plugging in the cable and letting Vista install the drivers
automatically. I've also tried downloading the drivers from prolific and
loading them manually, and finally I've also tried installing the drivers
from the supplied disk.

In each case I can see the device in Device Manager, listed as 'Prolific
USB-to-Serial Comm Port (Port 5)', but it shows the little yellow '!', and
it says that the 'Device Cannot Start. (Code 10).

The Driver version is listed under 3.0.0.0 under the Driver Tab, which I
believe should be 2.0.2.8 ??

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ??

Cheers

David, VK2NU

Hi
 
I don't have my K3 yet but I have had a problem like this with digital camera firmware update. The problem was the Vista firewall. I had to turn off the firewall to get it to work. Anyway it may be worth a try

RE: KUSB - Vista Issues

srife
        Has anyone tried using the Keyspan USB adapters with the K3? I have
one 4 port and 2 single adapters working very well on Vista 32 home premium
edition, and I'm trying to find out if they will work ok with the K3.
Actually one of these is working with the K2 and I have had no problems.

I've used the Keyspan 4 port adapter for years on XP, with all sorts  
of devices, including my K2.  Right now it is tied to my mac, and my  
K3.  No issues seen from either OS.  Of course Vista is a different  
beast, but if it is working fine on your K2, I doubt you will have any  
issue with the K3.  Let us know how it goes.

Stan,

The K3 responds to a few more of the RS-232 signal lines than the K2,
but if it is working on the K2, it is quite likely to work with the K3.

Some USB to serial adapters have trouble at low speeds, but work OK at
higher speed.  If your adapter has this problem, the K3 can operate at
faster data rates than the K2, so bump up the rate and try it again if
you encounter problems.
