USB to rs232 Cable question

I have a ultra thats locked up and just bought a usb to rs232 cable so I can run loader2 to get it unlocked. The cable said it had drives to support XP but I can't find them. Is there anyone who has drivers for this cable. It's a HL usb-rs232 cable. I will keep searching but any info would be appreciated.

Re: USB to rs232 Cable question

Usually XP automatically finds the drivers it needs. When you go through the install, allow XP to search the net for required drivers. Have tried to install with this option?

Hey Buddy if you bought that cable at Radio Shack, do yourself a favour and return it. I had the same cable and so did another member and they would not work. Instead get the Nexxtech which does work and comes with a driver.
Hope this helps you.

Re: USB to rs232 Cable question

Here is the driver. Unplug the USB cable. Run the install. Then plug the cable in and it should pick it up. Try COM4 or COM5 first to see if you get a connection. If not you will have to try different COM ports to see which one works.
