The company that makes the CP2102 is Silicon Labs, that’s a link to the driver download page and they also have a forum that may help under “Community & Support”.
As I recall (it’s a long time ago) Win98SE needed a patch for USB to work correctly.
Yes, 6 years later! Time really flies as one gets older!
I will be moving my station off grid and need to use my old laptop for Weatherlink. I’m trying to save money, as it still works, but the USB driver thing is not working. I went to Silicon Labs and downloaded the driver but what the instructions say and what actually happens on my computer are two different things.
That’s funny you’d send me that because that was the exact website I went to today and that’s the driver I downloaded and the instructions which didn’t match what happened on my computer!
I followed those instructions but never got to the driver showing in the device manager…
