usb to midi lead wont work arggghhhh

just bought a alesis usb to midi lead but wont work with windows 7 tried updating the drivers for windows and nothing from alesis on the driver side i know its a common problem but does anyone know of a compatible lead or solution to the problem thanks

Are you plugging it in the right way?
