                      Sam87,

                      If you have a spare PCI slot in your PC why not just buy a Vista Compatible PCI Serial card,



                      It will cost you about a 10er at the most and are much more reliable than a USB adapter, takes about 5 mins to fit it mate.

                      Have a read through this thread http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...-eurovox-9786/
