260-183 serial to USB windows 7 driver - ASUS T2 P4P8T WO/CD/MDM FM AGP8X GETH WIFI (t2-p)

make sure the db9 rs232 cable is the correct type.
be sure to set the correct parity and bit stops and baud rate.
you may require a driver if windows 7 isn't already set up for serial connections. http://myaccount.flukenetworks.com/fnet/en-us/supportAndDownloads/KB/Copper-Testing/scanlink/How_do_I_export_Scanlink_data_to_a_text_file
see the link for the how to connect.
I would recommend a usb to serial adapter and make sure to get one with the drivers for windows 7.

What motherboard is in the computer? USB to serial drivers can be chipset specific.

Usually just plugging it in works, if not go to your Control Panel, go to the "Add a device" option and follow Window's instructions on the rest. :)

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

You should install the drivers for the adapter running as administrator. If the adapter is not supported by windows 7 you should give it back to salesman and get a new one compatible with windows 7

Here are the drivers you need for your USB to Serial adaptor!

I had to take the following steps to get it to work in Windows 7 after running the setup executable under the Comments in the Windows row from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

1. Open up Device Manager, right click on the Triax Elite and select Update Driver Software.
2. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" in the window that pops up.
3. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
4. Scroll all the way down the list of "common hardware types" to USB controller.
5. Choose FTDI from the list of manufacturers and choose the "USB Serial Converter"
6. Confirm that you know what you're doing and want to install this driver.
   

Windows then finds another Unknown Device which is the serial port. Repeat as above but choose Ports for the common hardware types and then FTDI and "USB Serial Port".

Afterwards, run the latest Nike Triax Elite software (that you can download from http://www.nike.com/timing/extranet/elite_software/ and it should work.
