I've been beating my head against this for an hour and I can't get the drivers to be recognized by Windows. I've downloaded them but Device Manager won't recognize them as applicable to this device. Since this was so simple for you, do you have any ideas for me to try?
There is a lot of bad, wrong, almost right info out there on the interwebs.
I don't know about those other links you cite, but the one I cited:

https://forum.e46fanatics.com/showpo...72&postcount=1

Did it for me, when read carefully and followed exactly. Since it was posted in 2012 and worked for me in 2019, I expect it is still valid. Also, those instructions refer to Win7, and I did it on Win10-64-bit, further suggesting they are rock solid.
