For USB traffic, it seems that SniffUsb is the clear winner. It works under Windows XP (but not later) and has a much nicer GUI than earlier versions. It produces huge dump files, but everything is there. However, my device is in fact a USB serial device, so I turned to Portmon which can sniff serial port traffic without the USB overhead.

This is the MAIN reason we no longer write for WinXX systems, the CONSTANT maintenance of a spaghetti-OS Go Linux! Open Source is the Future.
Like other users, I'm on Windows 7, and stuck on 'snpys bridge is not available' (yes, running as admin, which the authors neglected to mention), having followed the instructions in the 'readme.txt', which doesn't exist as a file but can inexplicably be accessed from the Help menu. So, for me, this is about as much use as a fishing rod in the Sahara. It's poorly documented, non-functional and unmaintained. Wish I'd read the reviews first.
No joy. ^h^h^h^h (See revision at the end of this review.) The package is a zip. In the zip is one file, an exe. Is it an installer? No, it's the whole app. Where is the readme? Oh, it's under the help menu when you run the app. Then when you have the readme open you can't do anything else with the program. So I copy and paste the readme to notepad. Then follow the instructions. F2. Check, Unpack Drivers. Check. Install Service. Check. Right-click device and choose 'Install and Restart'. Check. Wait for magic to happen... Uh, no check. Oh, BTW did I mention up front that it needs to be run as admin? Neither did the authors. Did I mention that I ran it as admin? No, I didn't mention that until now. I give it high marks for cutesiness though. 'We're not responsible for anything that happens to you, your system, your devices, your marriage, etc. etc.' RR. sharlow1 .......
