NO my Labtop dosent have a serial port so i got a USB serial port connector and in order to dowload i need the driver but i dont know where the driver is on the MPLAB disk i need the MPLAB IDE driver and i dont know where to find it can you help???

[KenWittlief]

I dont think an USB to serial port driver would be on the MPLAB disk, or on their website - one should have come with the USB/serial device, or information on how to find it on that companies website

all it does is make the USB port look like a serial port, then when you run MPLAB it will say "HEY! I see a serial port out there! want to use that one?"

-hedgehoggerIsn't the driver already installed?

I remember going through all the steps just fine when I installed it before.

-chrisYou can open up MPLAB's directory (where you installed it to), and look for doc's. Sorry though, I can't really help you there, only did it once, and that was around Thanksgiving. Since then I haven't bothered w/ the USB port installation. You could also explore the CD though, and look for any files w/ the extension htm or html. Those are the files that gave the directions as to how to do it.
