    As far as I can remember, you need a driver for the usb-serial adaptor, but I could be wrong.
    Right-click on the My Computer icon, select properties, then when the window pops up, select the Hardware tab, and click on the Device Manager button. Go down to the + next to COM ports, and see what ports your pc thinks it has, then, when you run the gt-rom loader, you need to change the serial port to the one you found in the device manager.
    I think the directions above are correct, it's a long time since I've used Windoze in anger.
