http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx (http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx) use those with the new USB device. should you after that installation not "see" your device (can happen with win7), don't worry. Fire up cgminer, should work. If you want to run CG miner for your graphics card as well, make a copy of the CGMiner folder simply. Use one for GPU, one for USB stick. when us start the USB stick version, use the no-gpu.exe version (for V3.7). Hope this helps, I am kind of new to all this myself PS: please don't type in all CAPS, it is pretty exhausting on the eyes.

On the other hand, ASICs cannot mine scrypt. They are designed for bitcoin, which uses the SHA-256 algorithm, and not the scrypt one. You can only mine SHA-256 coins. You cannot mine scrypt coins.
