Belkin f5u103v seems to be a PL-2303 adapter - I've got one of those (Vivanco branded, rather than Belkin) and it's working fine in my XP VM, using driver version 2.0.2.1
I have no drivers for it installed on the host.
Same Player version you posted.
Host is Win7x64
Also, you posted this in the VMware Fusion forum, instead of the VMware Player forum...
