Unable to identify BS2 on BOA

I have a BS2 in a BOA Rev A with BASIC Stamp IDE 2.4, but I've recently migrated to a new computer. I have been forced to add a Parallax Serial-to-USB converter, and I've added the COM Port with the "Edit Ports" option, but when I run the Identify command I get the following:

Device Type:
Version:
Loopback: Yes
Echo: No

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you,
Pat

    1) Just on general principles, download the most recent IDE and install it.

    2) Make sure the USB drivers for the Serial-to-USB converter get installed.

    3) Make sure the Stamp is powered

    4) Make sure the cable from the converter to the BOE is good.

    Loopback says that the RTS and DSR lines work. Echo says that characters sent to
    the Stamp are echoed back to the PC. If it's false, the data isn't getting
    through the Stamp module where there's a connection between receive
    and transmit.
