no you shouldnt need a booster you need to update the box first then you will see if it needs any adjustments

So from what ive gathered would this work with kyptview
Play.com (UK) : DB9 Female DB9F 9 Pin RS232 Serial Null Modem 2m Cable : Computing - Free Delivery (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3515824/DB9-Female-DB9F-9-Pin-RS232-Serial-Null-Modem-2m-Cable/Product.html?cm_mmc=Froogle-_-PC-_-Accessories-_-DB9%2BFemale%2BDB9F%2B9%2BPin%2BRS232%2BSerial%2BN ull%2BModem%2B2m%2BCable&source=5066&engine=froogle_pc&keyword=DB9+Female+DB9F+9+Pin+RS232+Serial+Null+Mo dem+2m+Cable)

I thought it needed usb

Does your laptop have a Serial Port, it kinda looks like an old-skool joystick port, lol (it's unlikely that your laptop has one, not many do these days).

If it does have a Serial Port then you need a 'Null-Modem cable'.

If you do not have a serial port then you will need a USB to Serial Adapter and a 'Null-Modem Cable'

All of these can be bought at Maplins, but you'll find them on eBay much cheaper.
