Prolific USB To Serial Driver 'Code 10' Fix!

New Version 1.82, 04/09/18

Windows 32 and 64-bit Operating Systems - Prolific PL-2303 Driver Fix (VID_067B&PID_2303)

For Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10!

'This Device cannot start (Code 10)'

'No driver installed for this device'

'Device driver was not successfully installed'

The Internet is full of web pages discussing this problem, and hardly anyone really seems to understand why it's happening. Even the companies selling these USB to Serial adapters and cables appear to be either dumbfounded or have selective amnesia. After all, it's absolutely great for business. Unfortunately there are hundreds of legacy devices that can no longer be used on newer computers running Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10. There are many 'backyard' fixes out there, but none of them are done properly and if they work it's just a temporary 'Band-Aid' to the problem. It will come back to haunt you.

What has happened is that there have been counterfeit 'Prolific' chips coming from China. The counterfeit chips use the same Vendor ID (VID_067B) and Product ID (PID_2303) as the authentic Prolific chips. So, Prolific made a new chip and dropped all support for the old one thereby rendering the counterfeit chips unusable. Unfortunately, it renders hundreds of legacy devices using the earlier chip inoperative. Getting a working driver installed by the average user is almost impossible.

If one of these Prolific drivers gets installed to your Windows 64-bit computer then your legacy device will no longer work and will issue the generic 'Code 10' error. Driver Versions:

3.3.5.122, 3.3.11.152, 3.3.17.203, 3.4.25.218, 3.4.31.231, 3.4.36.247 3.4.48.272, 3.4.62.293
3.4.67.325, 3.4.67.333, 3.6.78.350, 3.6.81.357, 3.8.3.0, 3.81.10.0, 3.8.12.0, 3.8.18.0* (*New addition in this version)

Or, you may get no error at all, but your device will not work. If your adapter was working prior to going to Windows Update, you may be able to 'roll back' to the previous installed driver and all will be well for awhile. However, if you didn't have a previous driver installed that worked, you'll have to go through the process of removing any PL-2303 driver installation programs,the actual driver files, and the information (.INF) files BEFORE you are able to successfully install the correct driver. What aggravates the issue is that there are many 'Prolific Driver Removal Tools' that do not work properly as well! And Windows 8, 8.1, and Window 10 are set by default to automatically update your drivers without your permission or even notifying you of the update. So, no matter how many times you remove the driver files and reboot, the next time you insert the USB-To-Serial adapter, Windows installs the newest non-working version again. Yes, it's frustrating.

The best 64-bit driver I have found that works with all the 'Prolific' adapters is old Version 3.3.2.102. Our 'PL2303 Code 10 Fix' program will remove all incompatible drivers, make a change in the registry so that Windows can never update the driver without your permission, and install the Version 3.3.2.102 compatible drivers.
