I had this problem too, but fortunately the XP driver for my USB/
serial converter worked with my 32-bit Vista. If I was starting again
I wouldn't go down the converter road, I'd buy a PCMCIA RS232 serial
card, they seem to be cheap enough at places like eBay (but watch out,
there are a lot that don't work with Vista, read the small print).
