The USB to serial must be working to progress, so this is the problem.
BVSerial needs the correct COM port to operate and so this needs fixing first. Usually Windows systems have the CP2xx driver built in and as soon as you plug the device in you get a message saying the driver is being installed or is installed and you get a new COM port to work with it is most unusual for Windows not to recognise it unless it is an old version of Windows (pre XP).
Either way as your system has told you that it cant find the software you will need to download it from the Si-Labs site (http://www.silabs.com/products/interface/usbtouart/Pages/usb-to-uart-bridge.aspx) and follow the instructions for your system. It is the VCP driver the driver needs installing.
You could also, before installing the software just try and plug the USB to serial in a different USB port, it could be as simple as that or reset Windows and then try again - worth a try anyway.
When the driver is installed properly you will get a new COM port which will show up in BvSerial.
