Windows XP and serial comms...
I have had a few problems with Win XP and some RS232 serial comms software I wrote in Delphi. It uses a non-standard baud rate but works fine on Win9x, WinMe, WinNT 2k etc.
Any ideas?

Hello, you ok????
What you using to communicate through RS232, OpenFile, ReadFile etc or a 3rd party library?
Are you sure it isn't down to the UART in the computer you are using, rather than the operating system, it seems odd that it works in 2000 and NT but not XP.
Many years ago we started having trouble with, at the time, new age notebooks generating the exact baud rate we required.
