[Elecraft] K2/100/KAT100/Windows7-64/HRDv5/Computer challenged op/?

[George Winship, NC5G]

Ok, Guys and Gals, I am wanting to explore some new adventures in ham radio
and at least try to get into the 20th century. I just built the RS232 cable
for the K2/100 and received a USB to serial adapter from Saelig. It has the
FDTI chipset. Have not hooked any of this together yet.

It is my understanding that Windows 7 already has the drivers installed. A
sticker on the cable says to go to the FDTI web site and download drivers
before plugging the cable in. Is this something that I need to do?

What is the proper sequence that I need to follow in order to get the K2,
computer, and HRD to work together?

FYI, I have never had a computer hooked to a radio, never used a computer
logging program, or operated in any digital modes other than morse code and
I am relearning that! 

Probably be tonight or tomorrow before I get a chance to play with this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

73, 
George, NC5G
