Code 39 error on USB Ports

**shivendra** · 03-08-2008

I am trying to connect a USB to serial adapter on the USB port of my computer but it is not able to work. If I go to Device Manager then I can see that it is listing some kind of yellow exclamation mark with a error code 39. I have already tried to reinstall the drivers over there but it is not solving the case and giving me same problems. Can anyone help. Thanks

Uninstall the driver from Device Manager, and then scan for new hardware to install the driver again.

You may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. Windows may have the driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the last time that you set up the device. However, sometimes, it will open the New Hardware Wizard which may ask for the driver. If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor’s Web site.

On the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Uninstall. Follow the instructions.
Restart your computer.
Open Device Manager, click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes. Follow the instructions.
