Connection problems with a USB adapter serial <=> USB

Connection problems with a USB adapter serial <=> USB

I use a computer with windows7 (64bit) with no serial connection.
In order to program my Motorola GP3xx I use a ribless a serial cable.
For it to be usable with my PC configuration with only USB connections,
I use the a USB adapter. Serial <=> USB.
Necessary drivers (drv) are available and is functioning.

This cable is able to read my radio GP3XX using ComTool.exe.
and I can get all the information from the radio about prog. version, radio version, etc.

But I can not make any contact with the radio from the CPS:

GP300/GM300 Professional Series CPS ver. R03.11.15

This is strange because contact can be established with the help of ComTool.exe

Someone who can help with to solve this problem?

Did you tell CPS which COM PORT the adapter is attached to?

I don't have access to that particular CPS but under XTS it's on under View/Main/Port Selection.

Can you tell us what this is, and how it helped? Google doesn't reveal much about it...
No trees were harmed in the posting of this message...however an extraordinarily large number of electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

Latest CPS for Waris (EMEA) is ENVN4005Z CPS R03.11.16_EN (ENLN4115U 07.Jan.2012) makes it possible to use it with Win7 64bit without any problems with a USB adapter serial <=> USB. This program includes the drv (commsbepx64 ) that makes it possible.
