There is information in K3 Utility Help under "Troubleshooting" for USB adapters that describes how to use the Windows Device Manager to determine the device driver versions. The Windows Device Manager display of the device driver version will also show you the chipset vendor, if you wonder who makes the chip set used in the USB to Serial Adapter you're using.
My understanding is that the diskette included with the KUSB (FTDI version) works fine, and that Microsoft or Windows Update will update the FTDI-based device drivers. You might have to use the "Custom" button on Microsoft Update to have it examine device drivers versions.
