Can you determine the real manufacturer of the USB to serial adapter you have? If so, go to their website and download the latest driver software for it.

I'm surprised when you plug it in that windows 7 doesn't find driver software for it automatically with an internet search.

My OMNI VII came with a Ten Tec RX320D USB to serial port adapter. The
driver software on the included CD does not load under Windows 7. Now
when I look at the Ten Tec website they offer a different looking device
than what I have, it says model #317 USB-Serial adapter. Is this what I
need?

The 712 digital adapter worked just fine on the old computer's single
USB port. On the new computer it receives just fine with N1MM/MMTTY,
but the device is not keying the OMNI VII PTT. Maybe I just need to
solve the first problem above?
