Windows 7 32 & 64 Bit Drivers are on the web

This adapter will work on Windows 7 32 & 64 bit OS machines but you must manually download and install the driver. Follow these steps and you should do fine-- 1. Do not connect the adapter to your PC - just wait we will connect later 2. Visit this web page: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 You can see the link for the driver there. 3. Download the driver file: PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v110.zip 4. Unzip the download to see the .exe file 5. Run the exe to install the driver 6. After installing, I would suggest a reboot of your PC - can't hurt 7. Connect the adapter 8. All should work, check out he Windows Device Manager to make sure that the hardware is functioning correctly. Enjoy!

Could not find PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1
March 3, 2011
The PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v110.zip was not on the list, however the PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v130.zip was. Can I assume this is a newer version of the same thing?
Also - I have the Dynex USB to Serial converter cable that I purchased several years ago that I used with Vista. If I install this driver, will that cable work or will I need to purchase a newer cable?
