Problem with RS232 communication under Win XP Pro.

A vi was created under Win2000 with Labview 6i. It uses VISA routine for controlling a laser via RS232 (com1 port). It worked fine until the computer was upgraded in Win XP Pro. All remaining of Labview routines work fine except those using the VISA protocol.
I checked with the stand-alone VISA (NI-VISA 2.5) interface and found that the communication was possible. Only problems when VISA called from the vi.
There returned error message is
"source : VISA Open in Serial_R_W.vi
code : -1073807343"

Can someone help ?

Is it Labview problem, VISA problem, XP problem,...?

Regards

Marc

NI-VISA 2.5 did not officially support Windows XP. You need version 2.6 or higher. I recommend updating to the latest version, 3.0.1 on www.ni.com/downloads
