1. Apcupsd Download Windows

I have an APC model BE750G connected via USB to my Windows 7 computer. I've installed the apcupsd 3.14.13 software. During installation, it says, 'The USB driver could not be automatically installed .. please see .. install.txt for instructions on installing the USB driver by hand.' I followed those instructions (below), but I get the message 'Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.' However, status for the UPS shows, COMMLOST. I.e. it is not talking to the driver. Also, under Device Manager > Batteries, 'American Power Conversion USP UPS (Apcupsd)' is not listed, only 'HID UPS Battery' and 'Microsoft Composite Battery' are listed. I am concluding that the correct driver was not installed.
How can I force the supplied driver to be installed?

I downloaded and installed APCUPSD but the driver installation failed. Windows 8.1 does not allow unsigned drivers to be installed. Download google chrome offline installer windows xp. So I disabled driver signature enforcement and proceeded to install the APCUPSD driver. It accepts the driver and requests a reboot. Once rebooted the Device Manager.

btw - this UPS works perfectly with the apcupsd software installed on Linux, so it's not the UPS itself.
