Won't work with 64bit Windows

on November 30, 2013

Posted by: SemperFi896

from North Carolina, USA

I used this in my computer back when I had XP and it worked fine. But I've since moved to 7 and now onto 8. Both 7&8 are 64bit. This item installs drivers automatically but device manager complains that "This device cannot start. (Code 10) A device which does not exist was specified" I've tried all the drivers from both Dynex and prolific. No Go!!!. I was forced to order a cable and back plane from my MB manufacturer to be able to get a serial port.

What's not so great: Won't work with 64bit Windows

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
