The drivers are not available via Microsoft Windows Updates; however, Windows Vista will search for and install the drivers via Microsoft Windows Updates by default, because the drivers are incorrect, which causes the COM ports to be unusable. To avoid this problem, please disconnect your PC from the Internet before installing drivers.
