Foot pedal issue HELP!!

I purchased an Infinity foot pedal to work with Express scribe. I ordered
the serial port rather than the USB port which may be my issue. I have a
Sony all-in-one desktop with only USB ports and I use a LAN docking station
to add my printer (serial port not USB) and also to utilize it as a USB hub.
I figured I had the extra available serial port on the docking station so I
might as well just go serial port connection.

Anyway, I have Express Scribe on my computer and laptop. I connected the
foot pedal, but the computer does not recognize the foot pedal and when I
try all the various options in ES, it still wont work. It was recommended
that I make sure I have a gaming driver thing installed and when I try to do
that I get an error message that says "Your gameport or gameport drivers are
not properly configured. Please consult the device manager." So I fiddled
around with that for a couple of hours still with no solution.

So I broke down and ran to RadioShack and got the serial to USB adapter that
was recommended. When I try to install the driver on my desktop, I get a
Windows error message saying that the installation was interrupted and do I
want to report/not report the incident. It will not let me install the
driver to recognize the USB adapter.

Finally I figure, fine I'll try my laptop and if need be I can run ES on the
laptop and type on my desktop. It lets me install the driver for the
adapter as demonstrated in the installation guide, but it still wont work in
Express Scribe :(

I'm at wits end here. Any ideas?
