Re: quesion

Serial ports don't have 'security' attributes in XP.
If the BIOS is not set up properly it may prevent you from using the serial ports.
You may also have a conflict with addresses.
Tell us what problem are you having.

Also, Winblow$ XP doesn't let direct access to com port. It has to go through XP's own driver, so it causes some "older" applications to fail under XP. (My personal advice to everyone: stay with W2K).
