Check device manager for some hints, otherwise just trial and error (you should only have a few anyway).

What USB adapter did you get? Some day I'll need to get one as boxes with the old 9-pin serial ports are on their way out

I bought one from RadioShack. I had meant to buy one online because they are so much cheaper but I really didn't want to wait any longer. Worked out well though, detected right away by Vista (XP needed Drivers CD) and works great.
