USB Console to Cisco Switch
I have download the Cisco program to configure my USB to COM port. The device can be detected in Device Manager.
When I open the terminal program and select the COM3 to access my switch, it prompt for
"Unable to open COM3. Please check your port settings:.
I have already changed it to another port COM4, COM5 but I still get the same problem. Any idea

In fact, the cisco driver has been installed properly but it still can't access the Cisco console port.
I also test the connection on a PC with either built-in com port and USB and they return the same error message.
Try console cable and USB driver on Window 2008 server, it works perfect.
It seems that I can't make the connection on either Window 7 / 8. Something relate to OS... I guess.

Look in device management, com ports.
Try putty, and see if it lets you talk through the serial port? Do you have/use the Cisco serial-rj45 type console cable? Db9-rj45 console?
19200,stops bits 1, parity none?
Not all USB to serial work .......... For what you need.,
