Driver Programs
The Driver program allows the tool to communicate to the computer through the data
cable. USB/Serial cables contain a microchip and the driver simply controls it.
If you are using a USB/Serial cable:
Make sure to download the appropriate driver for your version of Windows under
"Diablosport USB Serial Drivers". For Windows 7 download the one titled
"
PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v110.exe
", or under “Old Prolific Drivers” choose the
one specific to your version of Windows.
In most cases, the driver will not work until the computer is rebooted. Once you have
installed the DSDownloader, installed the driver program and RESTARTED your
computer, you may proceed to the first step in the instructions.
If you are using a straight serial/serial cable
You don’t have to install a driver program and reboot the computer. Just install the
DSDownloader as described below.
