Proteus serial cable problem
Hi, hope someone can help me out.
I have bought Proteus sometime back in 2002, and i still have 2.0 OS version.
Device came with original serial-aux cable and i bought an USB2Serial adapter via ebay in hope i could get it working on my laptop.
But i still cannot by any means update my device OS or transfer any sessions, i tried all drivers.
Is there any alternative solution or am i forced to buy this new USB Proteus Cable?
Problem is im not in the USA, and shipping will cost more then a cable.
Thank You.

Hello and welcome!
Have you gone through this thread already?
Re: Proteus serial cable problem
Hi Andy, thanks for the thread link. I have verify all the steps.
My adapter is 2303 Prolific. But once i download the latest drivers i get yellow error code 10 in my Windows XP control panel.
My adapter is of this type. I also had problems making it work under my WIndows 7 machine, tried some 5 types of drivers. So now i'm trying to make use of it on Windows XP laptop.
So if i install original drivers from adapter CD, i dont have Error code 10, but i cant get Proteus to work even though its set on COM4 port.
Any ideas of what might i been doing wrong?
Re: Proteus serial cable problem
UPDATE: i resolved error 10 code by downloading a SER2PL.SYS file and replacing the one in system32 folder. But i still cant get any connection or data transfer once i plug the aux serial to adapter and Proteus. Proteus editor acts same, showing transfer bar, even when there is no cable connected.

I expect you have a defective USB to RS-232 adapter.
Please download and run the attached program and copy/paste the output screen contents here or copy/paste the contents of the findports.log file that is created in the folder of the program.

Thanks for sending the port test app. I get "no mindplace device found" popup window. :/
Guess i need to order a new serial usb adapter. Hope it arrives soon, and i post positive results here.

Re: Proteus serial cable problem
Yeah, doesn't look good for your USB to RS-232 adapter.
As per this thread, what is shown under the "Ports (COM and LPT)" section of device manager?
Re: Proteus serial cable problem
After few months of pause and switching to another PC laptop i finally got time to continue with my effort to get this adapter situation resolved.
My initial adapter was defunct so i ordered another one that arrived last month.
I got it working under Win 7 but unfortunately it's driver is not Prolific but wch CH340.
And i couldn't get it possibly to work with my Proteus. :(
So now im in buying mode again and ordered another cable from ebay that is advertised to have Prolific drivers.
Will keep you updated.
