Prolific drivers?

Deni F5VJC
Where can I get the new driver from Prolific? The link on the Ele Software downloader site to Prolific seems to be unavailable to me. Anyone tried this lately?

Thanks

Deni,

I tried  also...I think the link is broken ? I wanted to look around because I am running a Vista machine.Never had any problems with Vista...just wanted to get ready for the delivery of the K3 ! ! !
Also does anybody have a K3 with a pc running Vista ? What drivers do you need for the RS232-USB ?

If you have a Vista machine, I'd recommend you get the Device Driver from
Microsoft Update.  That's what I did, and I test with Vista and a KUSB with
this driver every release of the K3 Utility (I'm doing daily builds).

I understand that there's a major internet outage in the Far East that may
be the cause of the outage.  Give it a little while...

I have a K3 and a PC running Vista.

If you have a "real" RS-232 serial port, you need do nothing.  

If you're going to use a KUSB USB-to-Serial Adapter, plug it in, and get the
device driver from Microsoft Update.  Just follow the prompts.

I'll copy the paragraph I have in the "Blue Screen" section of Help into the
"USB Troubleshooting" section of help.  It suggests getting Vista device
drivers from Microsoft Update.

You can say that again.

One of the major backbones between Europe and Asia was damaged in three
places during the past couple days, which has virtually wiped out
international connections for some countries in middle and far east, and
caused major problems for others. Yesterday I heard in the news that
Egypt is begging for users to stop downloading music and films, so that
the government connectivity remains usable.
