Default USB to RS232 adaptor

Hi Guys,

I need a USB to RS232 adaptor but all the ones I see only come with the driver CD compatible for Windows XP and below. I have Windows Vista on my laptop and was wondering if I need a Vista driver for this or will it just 'Plug and Play' ? .............. Thanks.
