RS 232 to USB cable driver

[charlieuk]

yes thats right it was that page i was looking at and then i went into it to to try and load the driver and yes that is the one i used. The cable did come with a cd but to much was in chinese(literally) to understand what i needed to do.

many thanks for the help

i think im making some progress i have un rard the file and have done the auto run selected the windows 7 version then the i386 folder then i get lost there is a list that comes up with things like ftbusui.dll and ftser2k.sys and not sure what i need to chose? there is one described as usb serial property page provider?

There was a install manual but it doesn't seam to be relevant to the auto run?

[charlieuk]

omg i think i may have done it i scraped the auto run and tried it again following the install manual and it made a lot more sence even if im not 100% or even 20% sure what i did i now have the cable on com.3 and pro tune open. It probably should have taken 5 min and tock me hours and hours but for me thats some achievement when it comes to computers! no just to figer pro tune out
