I just replaced my laptop which upgraded me to windows XP. I am using a belkin usb to serial adapter which I was using on my desktop with win 98. I downloaded the new driver for it for winxp. The pronto edit opens com 1(which is where the belkin is installed) but doesn't get a response from RC. I have tried different com ports but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Any HotSync or other software capturing the port?

Good Luck! Have had the same problem for 6 months. Sometimes it might work, sometimes it works once and then you have to do a restart. Very agravating to have a new laptop that runs 10 time faster than my old one, but the old one with Windows98 works everytime.

When I first got my XP laptop, I had a similar problem with another program (not PE). I later discovered the Windows Fax Service was causing the trouble.

Do a Ctrl-Alt-Del, and start removing running apps and services, one at a time...
