How does one "lock" a driver in place. Some people have suggested shutting Windows Update off after installing version v3.2.0.0, but I'd rather not do that. Thanks.

Someone will probably reply with a more complete answer but the short form is that the current drivers can detect counterfeit prolific part (and FTDI, for that matter) and refuse to work with them.Ā Your cable is almost certainly built with a counterfeit chip.

What you need to do is point your web-browser at miklor.com and dig down to the instructions for downloading and installing the Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver, which predates the counterfeit detection, and use that.Ā Also lock it in place so that Windows doesn't replace it again with the newer rev.
