Honored ContributorHi,
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's what i did and everything works fine since that moment.
