No Current Cost communications at all

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running the currentcostgui, requesting real-time data
2. I am using an older Prolific v 2.0.2.1 driver
3. With the very latest Prolific v130 driver I get Error Code 10 and
yellow exclamation  mark against the Prolific PL2303 USB to Serial Com port 8.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error message = Serial Exception: could not open port 8 (2,'The system cannot 
find the file specified)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version downlaoded today 24th Sep 2010, Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.
Is there a different recommended driver?

Try telling the app to connect to "COM8", rather than "8"

Same issue here; got latest driver for the "all white" cable, if I use putty I 
can see the xml whizzing past. I've tried putting COM2 instead of 2 as above, 
but I also get (2,'The system cannot find the file specified')
