Hi,

I also found the same problem and solved it by installing the FTD2XX driver with other name to use it with the FTDI chip. I suggest to follow this steps:

1.- Download the FTD2XX drivers from www.ftdichip.com

2.- Change the name of the files to whatever you want: i.e. FTD2XX.dll -> xxxxxx.dll; FTD2XX.inf -> xxxxxxx.inf and so on

3.- Edit xxxxxx.inf with the new names, where it says FTD2XX.sys put xxxxxx.sys and so on with any other name that changed in the last step

4.- Install this driver as the driver needed by your FTDI chip.

So now you have two identical drivers but with different names, and windows stops complaining http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

That&#39;s what i did and everything works fine since that moment.

Bye,
