right, i'm right now in the middle of my first microcontroller project. and i happened to need a USB to Serial (RS-232) cable to program my damn controller... so what happened when i plugged the cable in? well a Windows Code 41 is what it gave... after trying various things and pulling my hair out for while i came to realise that the BAFO 810 wasnt a real BAFO 810 after all it was fucking chinese fake with a CH341 instead of a Prolific 2303. Thats was IT i was so fucking angry that i wanted to pretty much quit...all right i'll spare you the anguish... after hours and hours of wasting my time... and fromatting my computer twice... i just got this crazy ass idea... wait a minute maybe my chipset is the irrational bastard... so after having failed to get any help online or the complete absence of help topics on this problem... i just updated my intel chipset software... something called OSFIXES that the intel guys put on the lenovo page... AND then it started working... christ it was and ugly expeirience.
