| Note for Windows XP Users
Some users of the D2XX drivers with our default VID and PID
(0x0403 and 0x6001) have been experiencing problems installing under
Windows XP with Service Pack 1. This is due to Windows XP
Update trying to automatically install XP certified VCP drivers
in place of the D2XX drivers. This problem can be overcome by
temporarily disconnecting from the Internet while installing FTDI
devices. If the problem persists, please consult the FTDI
Knowledgebase or contact FTDI
Support for assistance.
