Default problem with physical connection

Quick question please. I received my hp tuners today. Get ready to connect to the car and the cable that connects to the laptop is a 9 pin female usb connector. neither one of my computers will except a female 9 pin. After spending a good hour or so looking for a missing piece or an adaptor of some sort I have become very upset. Do I need to run out and buy an adaptor or something in order to make this connection. I must be overlooking something, surely this package that arrived today has everything I need to connect to my fairly new laptop. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

HP tuners uses a DB-9 serial port, most modern laptops don't have them, a simple Keyspan USB to serial adapter will solve this problem.
