i am trying to connect a serial device (gps) to my xp laptop USB port but xp
won't even recogize the cable. this cable worked just fine on windows me.
I've tried a couple of different drivers manually but nothing works and xp
can't find anything on its own. thanks for any help.

What do you mean by "xp won't even recognize the cable"?
Under XP my USB to Serial cable does not show as a USB device. No message
and no "safely remove hardware" icon appears.
When I plug it in, it shows up as a serial port in the control panel - and
works as it should.
 
when i try to instal it, xp can't find the corect driver. when i go into
hardware manager it is listed as "not configured properly". the cable is a
couple years old, maybe i just have to get a new one. it is an iconcepts
brand and i can't find much about them on the web.

Mine is also a no name but came with a CD.

Google "iconcepts usb drivers" without the quotes and you'll have about 9000
hits. The first one should have what you need.
