Win 7 is tricky as all h3ll.... hmm ive always had good success with belkin products. I used a Belkin converter to tune my buddy's car id say go check the website and see if they have any win 7 compatible stuff with backwards compatibility. GL with that man

Look for an adapter that uses a Prolific chipset, they seem to have good support for Win7 x64.

Eg. http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Adapt...7683684&sr=8-1
