I'm in need of help on this one. Using XP and trying to run
a old Dos program that utilizes Com1 to talk to a
controller board The prog.locks up. I've tried all
different setups as far a to how the program enviroment
should be but no good. If I open task manager and view the
Prop. of the program the CPU usage is running at 98/99%.
This is a simple little dos program and I'm stumped.
Thanks for any input.
