I only have USB on my computer and USB to program my PLC how do I set look out up

I recently upgraded my computer and it only has USB ports but no serial ports.  I know have a USB cable to program my Mitsubishi FX PLC.  Is there a way to use lookout and instead of using hardwired COM ports to monitor the PLC.  I have lookout 6.0.

That really would not help me.  I have USB connection to the PLC I have a USB port on my computer.  The PLC software uses USB no problem.  Lookout uses Serial COM ports.  I would like to Use Lookout on this setup to comunicate to the PLC from the computer using only USB is it possible. Or do I have to use old cables to connect to new things.  In the past I used serial cables and the solution you gave me just fine but the newer products are getting away from serial cables and using only USB.
