I tried all the above to no avail and googled all and sundry to the Code 10 subject. I also found that after installing the Vista driver the device shows "working" in the device manager. But as soon as I run EQDIR Check it disables the device and either I cannot see it anymore or when I re-plug it, it shows Code 1 (no driver installed).
I have installed the recommended Vista driver and upon clicking finish it told me that I have successfully installed the driver. But when I try choosing the driver from the update driver manually pop up, the folder where the driver should be is empty. Am I right in assuming that the driver would be here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Prolific\PL-2303 Vista Driver Installer?
I also read that Prolific has had issues with no-name chipsets being used for various products and that the driver automatically disables any non-Prolific chip once it found it on a computer. Is Shoestring is using these no-name chipsets? That would explain a lot.
It drives me crazy as I think that such simple thing should be a plug and play and not a mission for senior Wintel Specialists....any of those present by any chance?......
What else can I do?
