HiHI anyone know where i can find a driver for a usb to serial port. i need it for a laptop thats being used to operate a router machine in our workshop. the router has the serial port and the laptop has the windows xp on it.
im hoping that might happen. ive ordered a cable online just waiting on it to arrive. the laptop might not boot up either as we are waiting on a power cable. ah the joys of working with old machines and a boss who wont update anything.Do you have a cable for it ? I’d have thought either the cable has a driver or windows will pick it up automatically , you May need a usb to serial cable plus a null modem cable.
i will try this thanks.Hi
you could try searching the net with the id of the USB to Serial adapter.
look under device manager for the device that isnt installed and right click properties
look for the details tab and select the hardware id.
Copy it and google it
