Go to the manufacturers web site - if it needs a driver it will be on there.

Goto your device manager in control pannel. U might find the device under there named unknown device, right-click update drivers. It should then let u go through the process of finding the driver for u.

I would be most suprised if the driver is within windows, I recently purchased one from dealextreme for just a few pounds. I was running vista but still had to install drivers for it to be recognised.

i had major problems with prolific driver on my vista pc, it just wouldnt work, neither would others i came accross, so after one last attempt i came accross this link. its in chinese, but the word download is in english, your computer will ask you if you wish to continue to install as it cannot verify the publisher, just click yes and voila.. ur wire works. i was almost doin cartwheels round the room. so just thought id share the glory!!
