Installing the Prolific PL-2303 driver and the The device cannot be started code 10 was such a head ache. But it appears that I found the workaround and the problem. I have installed and used this technique on XP, Vista and Win7 32 and 64 bit. And I never ran the compatibility wizard or tried to change the compatibility. I just ran the installer on whatever system I put it on
Apparently the driver from 31 DOES work however I think the installer program corrupts SER2PL.SYS, the very driver that is needed. Here s my workaround.
Download from Prolific 31
1. PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.5.0.zip
And from edown
1. Download ser2pl.sys
2. Don t worry about the other 3 or 4 files that come with it ALL YOU NEED IS SER2PL.SYS
Ok let s get started,
REMEMBER WHERE YOU EXTRACTED ALL THE FILES TO INCLUDING SER2PL.SYS
After all downloads and extractions from Zip, run the prolific driver installer.
Run the PL2303 remover program, all this does is remove the SER2PL.SYS file from your system.
NOW comes the fun part /sarc
Go to your device manager your Prolific USB to Serial cable plugged in
XP control panel System Hardware tab Device Manager. Click on ports com LPT
Or however you know how to get there.
You should see the prolific device, Prolific USB to Serial COM Port com If you don t it s not plugged in.
right click and select update driver
select install from a list, or specific place advanced
On the next menu select the radio button search for the best driver in these locations
Deselect the tick box for search for removable media
Select the tick box for Include this location in the search
Browse to the folder where you extracted and saved the SER2PL.SYS file.
Press next and install the driver.
Your USB to SERIAL cable now works.
This is the process I used for XP and it is in general the same process I used for Vista and Win7 32 and 64 Bit.
