USB Dongle Serial Port (COM2) Driver

The USB Dongle Serial Port (COM2) driver enables Windows to recognize the Money Controls USB dongle as a serial port so compatible software can communicate with it. It is intended for users setting up the device, restoring a missing COM port, or troubleshooting communication problems after reinstalling Windows.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides the driver support needed for compatible applications to access the dongle through a Windows COM port.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the connected Money Controls device rather than leave it listed as an unknown USB device.
• Windows compatibility: Supported operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows version and system architecture.
• COM port configuration: Once installed correctly, the device can be checked in Device Manager, where you can confirm its assigned port and review available settings.

How to Install USB Dongle Serial Port (COM2) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported operating systems; verify support before proceeding.
2. Select the correct package. Before starting the USB Dongle Serial Port (COM2) driver download for Windows, check that the package supports your Money Controls dongle. Choose the latest version compatible with your system, and verify the source before using any free download.
3. Extract and install. If the package is compressed, extract it first. Follow any included instructions and run the installer if provided. Otherwise, open Device Manager, locate the dongle, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
4. Connect or reconnect the dongle. Follow the package instructions on when to attach the device. Restart Windows if prompted, then check Device Manager for warning symbols.
5. Verify the serial port. Look under Ports (COM & LPT) and confirm the assigned COM number. Windows may assign a port other than COM2, so select the matching port in your application rather than assuming it will always be COM2.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem or is required by your software. Before you update a working installation, retain the previous driver package or create a restore point so you have a recovery option if communication stops working.
