Lennart -

I use a 64-bit HP PC with 32-bit Vista Home Premium OS in my shack and it 
runs the USB-Serial adapter just fine.  I have, however, switched to a 
serial port to minimize noise in the receiver.  I am using a PCI Express 
card that provides 2 ports.  These are expensive, but I am pretty sure your 
HP PC has 2 unused PCI Express slots.

Is your Vista OS 64-bit or 32-bit?
