However, from your post I understood that you have Windows. So you can download VirtualBox for Ubuntu 10.04LTS 64-bit: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.8/virtualbox-3.2_3.2.8-64453~Ubuntu~lucid_amd64.deb Install it by running (assuming that you downloaded the file into current directory): sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-3.2_3.2.8-64453~Ubuntu~lucid_amd64.deb And run it: VirtualBox If you never used it before, read documentation: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation Set memory to recommended minimum for your version of Windows (in order to preserve as much as possible memory for Linux host) and then install Windows in it; then install your software (and the driver), plug-in your device and that's it. This isn't perfect solution, but it is better than dual-boot. If you have any question about VirtualBox please ask them at http://forums.virtualbox.org/ (but make sure to read VirtualBox documentation first).
