One more note, you cannot effectively check the com port unless a loopback plug is placed on the serial port and even running say hyperterminal and seeing if what you type comes up on the terminal screen. The software you mention must only check the status of the uart and the problem is not going to be found that way. I can send a diagram on how to make a loopback plug if you'd like. Serial problems are the worst and I'm am no com expert, but I don't mind assisting if I can. Good luck and here's my email address.
