I got my Vista drivers from Microsoft Update when I first plugged in the
KUSB. Here's what I put into K3 Utility Help on this subject:

"Microsoft Windows Vista users can obtain an acceptable device driver from
Microsoft's Windows Update service when the KUSB is first plugged in."

Bryan,

If that PC is a desktop, purchase a real serial port card and install
it.  Much more reliable than any adapter.

I know that does not answer the Vista driver situation - someone else
will have to answer that question, but if that is the true situation, I
would guess that drivers will eventually be available for download from
the Elecraft website - it seems like that is the only way the problem
could be resolved.
