zeitronix and serial to usb not working?

I got my zeitronix zt-2 hooked up, bought a radio shack serial-usb converter, installed drivers for it, and have had no luck with it working.
Ive tried changing com ports and everything, i cant get it to log. I rechecked all my ecu wiring and its all correct.

Anyone had any luck with the radio shack cable? What cable do you guys use? thanks.

EDIT: Got a new cable, everything is good!

What COM port is your USB adapter assigned to? Go to control panel hardware and check the virtual COM port.

Did you choose the lc-1 option under the wideband tab up top?

I tried the RS cable with my Zeitronix and it didnt work either. Went to a Mom and Pop computer store and got one for $9 that works great.
