autocad serial port communication
My computer is Pentium Core 2 Quad with 2.40Ghz. My computer doesn't have Serial Port, so I am using a USB to Serial Converter, I have designed an electronic circuit attach to the serial port, which is dumping values in it @2400,8,n,1 baud rate. I had seen the output on hyperterminal, the circuit is working fine.Now I want my VB program to act like a hyperterminal, to show me the values being sent by my circuit. By the time I execute the program, the system restarts without ever showing any error message.It's annoying me a lot, before writing this Thread, I put back my old computer, Pentium III Compaq Presario 6000. As soon as I plug in the power cord, I heard a Boom in the power supply, I then saw the power supply selector switch into 115V from 230V. I didn't notice as if the power selector was changed from its position, now my working Pentium III power supply is dead now. It had it's own original Serial Port and Parallel Port, so if I run my VB6 program into the older machine with it's own serial port, this won't make my system crash, because I had seen that there are extra USBSerial.DLL files in my P4 computer, which doesn't have Serial port, it's a virtual Serial port, so it's driver might be causing the system to restart. So any suggestion as what should now I do about it. Any idea about it, I have to take out some time for my old computer to see how much damage it had brought to my machine.
Any comments, suggestions are highly appreciated.
