Windows ME Driver Installation Guide This document describes the installation procedure of the FT8U232AM evaluation kit using FTDI’s VCP drivers under Windows ME and information on what to look for if installation doesn't go as planned. The driver installation is a two stage process, firstly the USB section of the driver is loaded followed by the COM Port driver. The CD-ROM provided with the kit should be inserted into the CD-ROM drive of the PC prior to plugging in the device. Plug in your device. This should result in a "New Hardware Found" message followed by a "Driver Database" message followed by the Add New Hardware Wizard. |
If the USB device has been detected correctly the name of the device ( US232 USB-Serial Cable ) will appear on this screen. Make certain that "Automatic search for a better driver" is checked then click on "Next" to continue. Windows ME will then install the drivers without any more intervention required other then to confirm that the drivers have been installed. |
The drivers have now been installed - click "Finish" to end the Windows ME driver install session. |
