   Serial Port problems

   Hi   
      
   I hope someone can help.. I am running a 16bit program (programmed in Turbo   
   Pascal for Windows v1.5) under Windows XP Pro - it automatically uses   
   wowexec & ntvdm to do this.   
      
   My program writes to the serial port every 50ms or so and I am finding that   
   occasionally the serial port will not transmit - it pauses for half a second   
   or so - then pungs out all the messages in one go.   
      
   Trying to flush the port each cycle works for a couple of seconds then jams   
   the port entirely. When I run the same code under Windows 2K (not including   
   the port flushing) it works fine! Any ideas?   
      
      
   Also if you hold down the left-hand mouse key without moving the mouse, it   
   completely stops the program running.   
      
      
   Thanks in advance!
