Thanks for the clues Redbeard, and AndrewJ. However I'm trying to replace the Prolific drive but Windows keeps insisting it be the Prolific driver. Even if I choose "Uninstall Device" In Device Manager, then Restart.
When I choose "Update Driver" and browse to the directory of the driver I want, Windows ignores me and says " the best driver is already installed". grrrrr!
I also tried installing by picking the ftdiport.inf file and "Install". This seemed to work, but made no difference in device manager. I did same with ftdibus.inf, but same result.
I tried driver that came with the cable, but no luck. These were for Windows 7, so also went to
FDTI driver site and downloaded latest for Win 10. Same result .... cannot convince Windows to use it.
Any clues on how to get around this ?
