Cant find Belkin F5U257 driver for my Windows 7 32 bit PC. Tried loading 64 bit but this simply crashes my PC when I attempt to connect

You need the drivers, just search for you model number. HP has a pretty good driver solution.

Your new camera driver is simply not compatible with the 64 bit version of windows. Get a camera that is specifically designed with a driver for Win 7 64 bit version.

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).

Download the appropriate Windows 7 driver from here:

Use the 64 bit one if you have a 64 bit OS, and a 32 bit one if you use a 32-bit OS.

Or you can download both, start with the 64 bit one. If it is not compatible, the installer will complain and abort.

The F5U409 will not work with 64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7. Most Windows 7 installs are 64 bit.
