I'm using Code Composer Studio v5.1 M4 ( even every version since v4.0) and have a USB driver problem.
My target (MSP430F2418) is connected via USB to serial port on PC (Win XP). I'm using PL-2303 from Prolific Technology Inc.

This driver is massive in conflict with the FTDI driver of the MSP430FET.
I had bluescreen + PC reset an it costs alot of time to manually deinstall the Prolific driver. While I'm not sure to kill every entry/file of the prolific driver, I get a new problem yesterday, while I'm debugging.
Code Composer tells me, that it can not connect to the target (or device not found). After a number of tries I could start a debug session, but it does not run (IDE changes to debug, debug can be stopped, but run symbol is outgrayed).
Today I found the reason. I connected the target USB some days before. After disconnecting target USB the debug can be startet as normal.
Very strange: while target USB was connected several days, I could debug as normal, having problems only since yesterday.
I will set up my PC from the scratch to eliminate the prolific driver, but maybe others others have such problems too and searching for an answer.
