Yes, it is a DB9 adapter. When I plug in the adapter, it prompts as new
hardware found on the system Then it searches and tells me it could not be
installed properly. I've tried installing/uninstalling/installing and
nothing changes. I need to either get this to work or I need to find
another pedal ASAP. This is driving me bonkers.

Is the serial-to-USB adapter a DB-9 adapter -does the package specifically
say DB-9? I have a serial to USB for my footpedal, the first adapter I
picked up was serial, but it was more than 9 pins. It will still fit
together, but it wouldn't work right. The serial DB-9 to usb I have works
great, though sometimes I have to configure my player (not ES) for COM4.
When I plug my adapter into the computer, it installs a driver for the
adapter then tells me "my new hardware is ready to use". Does this happen
for you? Are you using XP? (I am, if your OS is different, your
experience after plugging in the adapter might be different too).

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?
