I already have the original Garmin cable to connect vista with my pc to the
serial port but since this port is occupied by another device I bought a
converter cable which turns serial to USB in order to connect vista through
two cables to USB socket. Now when I try to connect it my pc anwers with
"unknown usb device" then trying to install a driver for that finds no
driver and at the end nothing happens.
Any ideas?
