Belkin F5D7230 4 not working with vista is there a driver i can get thats compatible ?

No, this product is not compatible with Windows 7 - 64 bit. It is compatible with Vista 32 bit computers. however u have a similar adapter which is compatible with Vista 64 bit, and Windows 7 - 64 bit you can use part F5U257 (USB-to-Serial Adapter).

I had the same issue myself. I purchased this device (that has Windows 7 drivers) - http://www.amazon.com/Keyspan-USA-19HS-Hi-Speed-supports-Sequence/dp/B0000VYJRY

can you confirm if it is F5U409?
If so the solution would be to install windows vista drivers. in belkin site it says that windows 32bit are compatible with the adapter.

Hi,

You cannot install this adapter in a Win 7 computer because the drivers are not compatible with Win 7.
So far Belkin haven't updated the drivers for win 7 OS. The latest drivers for this adapter is compatible only with

" Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP 32-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit "

Click here to see the belkin compatible drivers in the website.

download the vista driver for that particular version... right click on the downloaded file and click properties...now select compatibility tab and select "run this program compatible for vista" from your windows7 computer.... thats all your problem will get fixed for sure...try to give a restart for the computer after finishing the installation, or unplug and plug back the device again in the computer....

pls do rate if it is useful........
