I've had the best results with chips/cables from FTDI and the Windows based MySamba software.

Can you run a serial tty test program from your PC?
If yes, then you could test your PC to USB-serial-cable link, by connecting the TxD and RxD wires with one 1K resistor to from a loopback.
On your tty test program, you should receive every single character that you type on the keyboard.

I remember that on my initial tests (on Windows 7) I had a similar issue, and I found out that I was using the wrong serial COMx port number.
By doing the above test, I could find the problem and fix it.
