Compatibility issue between ArkMicro USB to Serial Ports and Windows
This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of
Windows and ArkMicro USB to Serial Ports, which was created by ArkMicro.
Recommendation
See what Windows version(s) your device is compatible with and if not
supported in Vista, install/run them in relevant Windows version
compatibility mode.

2.0 out of 5 stars Installing drivers a nightmare, 16 Sep 2006
By Dave345 - See all my reviews
This cable works, and I can upload and download routes to my GPS and see
my position on a map. The price is good, but if you can afford it spend
more money for better support.
I am giving this two stars because installing the drivers was a
nightmare. No CD was supplied. The drivers on the Manhattan web site use
a different chip set (Profilic), and there were about 4 to try. I then
got the vendor ID from USB identifier in the device manager, looked this
up (6547 - ArkMicro) and went to their web site. However I couldn't see
where to download the drivers from. I then signed up (expecting spam) to
driverguide.com and got the drivers from there. The drivers recognized
the hardware, but didn't work. I then had to allow the drivers to run
without them being signed, so goodness knows what this is doing to my
system integrity.
