Upon getting into the computer's Device Manager I don't see such a folder, and I can't find the "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port listing .  I've looked through all the other folders in the Device Manager; no luck.

The following is so idiotic that I'm only suggesting it because I've 
done it myself, at least twice! Reaching around the laptop I plugged in 
the USB, with what felt like just the right amount of resistance. But 
nothing happened. After 10 minutes of detective work in system logs, I 
looked, and found that I'd managed to wedge the plug between the plastic 
walls of the *Ethernet* socket.
