LS1 Edit and USB to serial adapter

So I'm a little baffled with this one. EFILive scanner is working fine with the Quatech USB to Serial Adapter, but when I try to read the PCM with LS1 Edit, it gets to the screen that says "Reading", and it stops at 0%, then loses the connection, and continually tries to reconnect. It does this also when trying to "download" to the PCM. The car still starts and seems to be running okay, even after all this.

Any ideas? Is there a setting I need to change on the laptop somewhere? I had all the firewalls and virus software turned off.

Thanks

Some of the serial to USB's don't work with certain programs for some reason.

Decided to try something different and ordered a 34mm Expresscard RS-232 Serial port today. Will give that a try, and hopefully it will work. Basically the Expresscard is the updated technology version of PCMCIA slots from my understanding.
