Virtual COM Port Drivers The YCCC SO2R Box (plus) has been tested with three virtual COM port drivers. Advantages This is a commercial quality driver. It is a signed driver, which means can be easily installed on 64 bit Windows systems. Otherwise use com0com. For 32 bit Windows, VSP Manager or com0com are both good choices.

  1. Windows 10 will not load new kernel mode drivers which are not signed by the portal. Additionally, starting 90 days after the release of Windows 10, the portal will only accept driver submissions, including both kernel and user mode driver submissions, that have a valid Extended Validation (“EV”) Code Signing Certificate.
  2. Free download page for Project Null-modem emulator's com0com-2.2.2.0-x64-fre-signed.zip.The Null-modem emulator (com0com) is a kernel-mode virtual serial port driver for Windows. You can create an unlimited number of virtual COM port pairs and use any pair to connect one COM port b.

Windows 10 Update

I tried to install com0com - a null modem emulator - on Windows Vista, but failed because Windows Vista doesn't let me install a driver that is not digitally signed.

I followed these instructions found in the readme file:

  1. Inactivate UAC
  2. Run bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
  3. Reboot the computer.

Try running bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON in an administrator command prompt (Run as Administrator). Or try: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo instead.

Fl studio 12 pirate bay. Is 32 or 64 bits Vista? I remember reading in the OSR mailing list that unsigned drivers can not in any way be installed in vista 64 bit.Hope this helps.

For anyone having the driver signing issue on Windows 8, the bcdedit answer above doesn't seem to work because Windows 8 has some sort of new Secure Boot policy that prevents running that command successfully, even as admin (on my machine, at least).

What worked for me was running shutdown /r /o /t 00 as admin, then selecting Troubleshoot, then Advanced options, then Startup Settings. Click the Restart button to restart and enter the Startup Settings menu, then select option #7 (Disable driver signature enforcement). After restarting, Windows should now allow installation of the com0com drivers (though it shows big warning messages that the drivers are untrusted).

(I found the details on getting into the advanced startup settings here.)
