USB adapter or serial port?

The port you use on the computer has to match in the FAST set-up. If your set-up for Comm 2 on the FAST and using a USB adapter it's probably defualted to a high Comm #. You'll have to set-up the computer to use Comm 1-4 and then match the FAST to the same port.
 
at first it said no com. then after switching to usb 1 it said ecm not found.

or something like that. Is it my windows vista??
 
yes it is a serial port adapted to a usb port

also my laptop is only about a year old
 
There have been some issues with Vista in the past which is probably according to what version of C-com you have.

You must go under communications on FAST and set-up so that FAST uses the same com port as your computer.
 
It's also very possible that you may have to download the correct drivers for the USB connector to work with Vista. I had to do this with an XFI system last year. The included disc did not include Vista, so I went to the USB adapters website and found the drivers.
