I have tried this, too. One time, I got the converter working, but now, the driver refuses to install with a "Code 39" error. What could that be?

I also got a code 39 error, plus a popup telling me that the drivers weren't signed (I know) and that this version of Windows requires signed drivers... I had disabled driver signing verification. I'm using Vista x64 business edition so will look to see if that has additional requirements for signed drivers.

i had the same problem till i decided to use vista updates for other non-windows driver. they had it. before that i was considering going to a 1-legged midget butt kicking contest after visiting all them "free sites" that charge 9.99 and then another 12 bucks for shipping.

Vista 64 Pro (French edition, translation may be approximative) : seems to me that the 'code 39' syndrom is the reason Vista 64 reports when it refuses to load an installed yet unsigned driver. Got this after initial install of the Prolific XP64 drivers, selecting advanced Vista boot options 'disable driver signature verification' made the very same driver operational, next boot without the option back to 'code 39' again. Boot option is boring since must be specified on each startup, the magic command line is intended to make the option permanent, I guess, given what BCDEDIT /? seems to tell us.

Randy, I am very interested in finding out where you downloaded drivers through Vista updates cause it's not working for me and can't seem to find it anywhere on microsoft site. I am using Vista x64. Thanks.
