If your HP Pavilion has Windows Vista, the instructions are  a little 
different.  The drivers come from Microsoft Update (or already  be installed, 
depending on the Service Pack level).  See the KUSB manual  for more detailed 
instructions.


 
I bought the USB to Serial converter that Elecraft sells and I am using MS  
Vista.  I followed the instructions that came with the package.  I  connected 
the USB side of the cord and got the message that a device had been  detected 
and it was installing the device driver software, but very quickly I  got a 
popup that offered 2 choices: "Install the disk which came with the  device." (I 
didn't get a disk) or  " I don't have the disk. Show me other  options".  Next 
I let the program search for the drivers on my PC but  it failed.
 
Eventually I get the message I posted the last time:
 
 
 
Problem  caused by PL-2303 USB-to-Serial Port Adapter
 
This  problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of 
Windows and  PL-2303 USB-to-Serial Port Adapter. 
This  product is usually distributed by the company that manufactured your 
device or  computer. 
Note
If  you bought PL-2303 USB-to-Serial Port Adapter from a retailer and 
installed it  yourself, you will need to contact its manufacturer. 
As far  as Windows Update, I ran it before I tried this but I have it set to  
automatically download and install updates and there was nothing for me to  
download.  Has anybody successfully obtained the drivers for Vista?  I  
appreciate the help.
