I have recently been working older software into news windows 7 machines. i just came up with a strange issue with Serial communication. When attempting to let VEE utilize the serial port COM1 I get no data from the port and looking at Agilent IO Library when VEE is attempting to access the port it shows a com error.

Using the same software on a windows xp machine works fine. Com port never shows an error. not sure what is going wrong. anyone see this or have any thoughts.

Thanks

I suppose the first thing one should check is that the comms are working on the PC in the first place - have you ever tested COM1 on this new machine? You could try using Agilent's Connection Expert or even something independent ( I use putty now that machines don't come with Hyperterm ).

Give us an update on your experience with that ( which bits work and which don't ) and we'll try the next step.
