My ancient Prolific USB to serial converters have been ported from XP to
Windows 7 and recently to Windows 8.1.
They work flawlessly - both versions of Windows installed the proper drivers
with no direct intervention from me.
You might uninstall the USB converter, unplug it, reboot and then plug in
the converter and see if Windows installs it correctly.
I have had success with this "repair" for problem devices in the past;
including a back-up drive with Windows 7.

Elecraft switched to FTDI chips in mid-2010, so the Prolific driver isn't
used for more recent cables. This page has drivers for both chips.

I have been using the KUSB USB/serial converter between my K3 and PC for
both DXLab and n1mm. Lately, I have been having trouble with erratic
frequency readings, mainly on n1mm but sometimes on DXLab. On n1mm, this
seems to happen mainly when I change bands or after the radio has been in
standby without transmitting for a while. I also have to run the USB at
19200 rather than 38400. I updated the Prolific driver with no effect.
Anyone got a solution to this problem? Barring that, what are people
using
for a USB/serial converter now days since I have used the old KUSB for
many
years now? Thanks.
