The software driver is properly installed, but the USB-RS232 adaptor does not work
One of the common reasons that software may not work as expected with a USB-Serial
adaptor when the devcie is properly installed, is many older programs and even some new
ones only support a limited number of COM ports e.g. only COM1 - COM4
If the USB-RS232 adapter is installed as COM5, it may need to be reassigned to COM1 -
COM4 to work with some software.

installed in the system. After selecting the desire port number, click OK.
5 Click OK again, and the device will show up as being on the same COM
port that it was before i.e., COM5, but should show up on the selected port name when
the Device Manager dialog is closed and opened again.
