Attached is a zip containing the latest USB drivers (v2.00) from the FTDI website. I originally had the official Crystalfontz drivers installed in Vista (32-bit). They worked, however, CC2 would occasionly stop working, and I would have to restart the CC2 service.
In the week that I have had these drivers running, CC2 has not gone south once. Please note:
1. Vista 32-bit only!
2. I have installed these drivers/CC2/CFA-634 on an XP machine. They work in XP, also.
3. I was going to test Win 2000, but the USB ports on that machine are broke, so I could not test. However, they should work. If you have Win 2000, and they work, please verify in this thread.
4. These are "unsigned" drivers. FTDI and/or CF will have to obtain the appropriate certifications.
5. I have modified the inf files to work with CF displays. Do NOT try to use the drivers direct from the FTDI website.
Included in the zip file is a doc file (CF_USB.doc). This is a step-by-step list of instructions on how I installed them in Vista. The same method would be appropriate for XP.
If you have any questions, a good experience, a bad experince, etc., let me know in this thread. Also, if you are using Vista 64-bit, you will have to wait awhile, since I plan on "dragging my feet" for awhile to upgrade to 64-bit.
