Once in the Device Manager if the driver has installed completely the Fluke-437-II should show up in two locations Universal Serial Ports and Ports (Com & LTP) directories.

If the Driver did not install you will have to install it manually so be patient as the automatic install can take up to 10 minutes. If it does not install automatically refer to "How to install 437-II USB driver".
