Default Slow Comms Port

I have an Airband Radio connected to my Windows XP via Comms Port 1 and a RS232 type connector. I use it to feed in frequencies via a programme called AOR Ctrl. It takes a long time, sometimes up to 15 mins and many tries to get the programme to recognise the radio. The Baud Rates, Stop Bits, Parity etc all match on the Comms Port, the Programme and the radio. The radio recognises that it is connected straight away but the programme doesnt. I have tried to update the driver for the comms port but XP tells me it is working and the latest version. Any ideas?

Thanks Rudy,

It seems to be behaving itself a bit better now without any changes. Strange. It logged itself on first time yesterday. I do leave it 'cooking' for a while before I load the software though.

Thanks again

Terry
