I purchased one of those adapters for my laptop but it works only intermittently. I do have a 10 year old toshiba that has a serial port and use it exclusively, along with procomm, when I have to connect directly to the equipment..it works like a charm..
What is your OS and what is the application. ie why do you need the RS-232?

I was having problems with mine after I bought it, but I went to the manufacturer website and updated the driver. No more problems.
