Running X10 Software and Drivers under Windows 7

I have used X10 Automation software and modules for many, many years using Windows XP.
I use the X10 CM11A Computer interface (with a Belkin FSU409 USB/serial adapter) to load timers and macros and TM751 Transceivers with remote keypads.
When I switched to Windows 7, I was unable to find drivers for the Belkin adapter or X10 software that would run under WIN7, so I have been using an old XP PC for X10 settings.
However, today I found a driver for the Belkin adapter and some X10 software called ActiveHome Vista that works Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit).
Here are links to the driver and software for anyone who might be interested
