XP will. [edit2] But you probably have to install that particular device driver the first time. An install CD should have come with the converter, or you might be able to download the driver from keyspan.
Are you getting a download error using IFI_Loader?
Sometimes those adaptors auto connect to a different COM port than it advertises. You can run through and try all the possible COM ports in IFI_Loader by choosing "PortSettings" and COM1, try to download, then COM2, and try to download, etc.
[edit]
I misunderstood.
Do you have the controller or will you try that later?
For those of you reading along...
The error doyler got was because one of the path and filenames was too long for MPLAB to handle. Combined they cannot be more than 62 characters or so. The usual solution is to keep the directory for all your FIRST code at the top level of the C drive, i.e., "C:\FIRST" not on your desktop because that's really at "C:\Documents and Settings\doyler\Desktop\" which is already 41 characters long.
