Default New Lap-top A-Tap issue??

I got a new Lap top running WIN 2000 Prof. Loaded my old A-Tap DOS v2.05 software on the PC. Tried to connect through my USB port and KEYSPAN USB to Serial Adapter. Well, it has to use a certain port I guess cause the software, car and PC are NOT talking to each other. Get an error like COM2 is unavailable or something like that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I ain't technical so if someone can explain to me in "dumb PC guy" terms what to do I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
