    I just downloaded the attachment above (oh, one page back now), then right dragged it to a blank area on my Desktop, and un-zipped with WinRar.

    All seems to be in there, so please try again ;)

    I don't think the driver works with Vista though :(

    Thanks Kimsland
    I downloaded it again , played around a bit (as you do) and finally got it. I had to decompress it twice so to speak, Unzipped your file, which left the file I mentioned earlier, When I tried to open that, windows asked which programme to use (could not browse to winrar for love nor money) so opened winrar prog` browsed winrar to desktop, found the ch341ser file (unzipped) and unzipped again, there were the drivers etc, as you mentioned.(a bit long winded I know)
    Thank you again for your help.

    That is so strange
    I have now seen that 3 times, and it's the one thing I can't work out why it's happening

    You unzip
    Then add the zip extension to it again (but because there are now two files of the same name, you are best to originally unzip to it's own folder)
    Anyway, after putting "Zip" back on as the extension, you unzip again, and everything shows :confused:

    Well its got me beat, because it's only zipped up once (and I just proved that a few mins ago)
    I'll find out one of these days :suspiciou :D
