Driver problems I think with CC 128
I have upgraded to parallels 4 on my Mac, after upgrading to Snow leopard which would not run my previous parallels. Problem I cannot find a driver that works with my cable. All was working fine in the previous version. Have downloaded and installed PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10518 for the cable. I get this error when asked in Current Cost to connect to com3 "serial exception: could not open port com3: (2, 'createfile', 'the system cannot find the specified file.')", Im assuming it cannot find the driver. In system>devices>hardware the com3 port is highlighted and says not connected. Any ideas. Thanks Dave
I’m very sad

Inappropriate?Dam! Dam! and Blast. My newly installed copy of Parallels crashed, have reloaded and all seems fine have reloaded your Current Cost programe. Problem is still with not recognising the Prolific driver(s), have downloaded the Prolific driveres from Prolifics site and will not recognise them. Drivers downloaded, (USB to I/O Port Controllers PL-2303 USB to Serial Bridge Controller), (wd_pl2302_v1800.zip), (_IO Cable_PL-2302_Drivers - Generic_Windows_sp_pl2502NW_v20044), (Generic_Windows_allinone_PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10518),( _IO Cable_PL-2501_Drivers_Windows_sp_pl2501_PCLinq2v1007) none of these seem to work. Once again I ask for guidance in respect of a driver that will work. Will any other drivers work if so can anybody point me in the right direction. My current Cost cable was supplied by the Current Cost product site if of any help and I'm using a CC128 meter. As I have said before all was working fine till latest Parallels update, the old software will not run on Mac OS 10.6 snow leopard.
I’m God I'm so depressed

Inappropriate?Have you tried running the app as a Python script on your Mac? It might make life easier by removing Windows drivers from the picture...
I've not tried it for myself (never tried a Mac at all, in fact) but I know some people have : http://code.google.com/p/currentcostg...4 Comments Add a comment

Now you've lost me, I'm predominately a mac man they are soooooooo easy to work on. I have tried to get my head around the thread mentioned. Do I still run this python in windows or mac. -
Just on the Mac - no Windows involved

Thanks will give it a go.

That is way to complicated for me, anything to do with terminal I stay clear of. Thanks any way, will try and sort it by finding a driver.

Inappropriate?I have the device manager now recognising the Prolific driver but says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" which as far as I know a code 10 is driver not recognised.
I’m so so sad
-
Inappropriate?The continuing saga so far.
Plug in usb and device manager recognises it with "This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)" now. any ideas
I’m I'm very near the end of my teather now

Inappropriate?EUREKA
finally found the missing link, it was a 'ser2pl.sys file. I got the aforementioned error and a pop up box which asked me to point the way to the file. Well I pointed it to all the drivers I had downloaded and bingo it found what it was looking for. Alas I cannot say which driver it was (no methodology to my search) so sorry.
I’m yessssssssssssss
