I've had this problem before and never resolved it, in the end brought a new laptop with serial port.
The serial to USB converters are very dodgy stuff. You have to install the software that comes with it for starters and after that in my experience it's due to luck. Make sure you are choosing the right port.
Two weeks ago I had an experience at work where after two days we found the problem was due to these converters, two of the ones we tried did not work and they were new.
