    Hello, there have been matches with this cable for 2 weeks. I do everything according to the instructions and it goes off. I combined it in a million ways, even got a second test cable. Same for wines 8.1 and win10. It does not detect the interface. Zero wifi, zero antiviral, nothing helps. Any solution to this problem or not?

    Buddy, I understand that this cable is Chinese?
    Did you get the drivers on the CD?

    Hey, the cable is said to be of Polish production, but it is known from a shaft. I got everything from him, including ftd and vcdsloader :)

    Is the cable visible in device manager?

    Change the port to a free port in the range 1-4 and then check.

    Show what the manager detects after connecting the cable. You probably have a 64 bit system right?

    Of course, it successfully detects the ross tech cable in the universal serial bus controller.

    64 was on 8.1, probably after installing the new system also 64

    So, in my opinion, forget about running this vcdsloader on 64. They are all under 32. Get yourself a virtual machine.

    Oddly, the drivers are under 64 ...

    @ how to put something like that? virtualbox?

    The drivers are for the cable and the vcdsloader is for running the program.

    Full agreement on this fact. So what, vietualbox? Any other way? I've never done anything like a virtual system :D

    In win 8 and 10 you need to make a virtual serial port with software because these systems do not have them and the problem will disappear. I have done this successfully with kkl cables and it works. Creation software is paid but can be found and free.

    Added after 2 [minutes]:

    More precisely, a serial port emulator, eg Virtual Serial Port

    I have such a cable made in Polish and Chinese.
    Both work without much problem on 10 wines without any combinations and in addition on x64.
    Only Chinese is not suitable for coding, that's my comment.
