[Elecraft] K3S USB driver problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

Since Windows cannot automatically find the new driver file, when you 
get to the window that asks 'How do you want to search for driver 
software', click "Browse my computer for driver software".

In the window that opens, click the 'Browse' button and navigate to 
where you have placed the unzipped file.  Windows should then load that 
file.

73,
