expertec Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Sorry.... what is a "usb serial" exactly? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1ghts Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 it is used for laptops that dont have com port or lack of com port on it...this usb serial will add more com port to your laptop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1ghts Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 yes there is yellow question mark and I did try to install it using wizard automatically with windows update but no luck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Remove it, and restart the computer.When the "Add hardware wizard" comes up, walk through it and tell us if you can get it installed... it shouldn't require drivers, though it may.
