Larry,
If you still suspect it's an OS issue, downloading XP Mode for Windows 7 may solve the problem.

It may be worth having in any case.

Franklin, Thanks for the advice. I also checked their web page. So far as I can tell they DO NOT have a Windows 7 driver for the KeySpan. Yes, awful. I'll call them on Monday when they're open again. If they can not offer up a driver for W-seven, I'm going to give them heck and then ask them to take the KeySpan back.
I'll then get a 2 port PCI to serial interface for the Inspiron. I can get one for about $20.
