Vista install ???

[Slowrc]

I am trying to install the usb driver But the directions on my install cd are for xp and I am computer challenged. Should I try an online download. My old laptop with XP went right by the instructions. Any help would be great. THANKS, Rodney

Found the link Off ls1 tech and it worked. Can't seem to clean old drivers to get a fresh start. What is FTClean...??? I can't find that program.

Forehead is bleeding now:blahblah:

From the link that you couldn't get to:
How to uninstall the USB drivers if Vista fails to install them correctly.

1. Disconnect FlashScan.
2. Run the FTClean program (that removes the driver files from the hard drive).
3. Reconnect FlashScan
4. Right click on Computer in the Windows Start menu, select Properties.
5. Click on the Device manager link at the top left of the window.
6. Locate the FlashScan device - it may be under "Other Devices" or "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
7. Right click and select uninstall (that tells Vista it needs to be re-installed next time it is plugged in).
8. Disconnect FlashScan
9. Close down the Device Manager window
10. Close the Control Panel->System window.
11. Reconnect FlashScan - Vista should restart the driver install wizard from scratch.

Make sure you are using FlashScan's latest signed drivers. Available here:

Can't get this to work ,It says, Could not find FTDI uninstaller program FTDIUNIN.exe Please make sure FTDIUNIN.exe exists in the same directory as this program."
