where'd you get the driver for it? From the Mobo/manufacturer site? When you go to the hardware manager, with the yellow dot. When you click "update driver" does it accept the new driver or say it's the wrong one?

Also what kind of laptop is it? Model & make.

[mol3000]

it says that it already have the most updated driver

Is the device causing problems? Why bother with attempting to fix it if you don't use it, and it's not causing problems?

I've had this:

for years. It's not causing me any problems, and I don't use it, so I haven't bothered to fix it.

i do need the com port thats why i am adding it on..... it is causing problems because of the explamation point

Go into setup and disable the com port, generally Com 2, but yours seems to be stubborn. Does not keep you from installing more in Add/Remove Hardware. You can install as many as you need there.
