Are you using Vista? You may need the Vista drivers from HERE.

If you have Windows XP then try the updated XP drivers on that page.

no its just wierd
ive tried everything listed on that page prior to posting this... i have xp....i think its a prolific cable since the popup window says something like that......
i just think the computer doesnt want to work..

After you plug in the cable, if you go into the system hardware device manager do you see a serial port installed? This is an issue you might want to call in to tech support about.

thanks for your help so far.
i updated drivers and it came up with a yellow exclamation thing as usb device, error installing blah blah
its screwed up, if i need technical support then hook me up. thank again

That is strange. Try this:

Put your Windows XP install CD into your CD drive, go into the system device manager, double click the "Unknown USB Device" and click "update driver". Click the choice marked "install from a list or specific location". Tell it to search the CD drive.
