read serial data

Hi all,

I'm using LabVIEW 7.1 and had a very simple program to read data from a
serial port.
(I'm a real beginner...)
The program was working fine with my laptop-Win XP.

However, the program is NOT working -does not read any data - with
another laptop with Win 2000. I have no idea how I fix it or why this
happens.

First, I checked if ther serial port of the new laptop works or not
with hyperterminal.
It was not working at the first time. So , I need to examine the
Windows device manager. It says there was nothing wrong. I just clicked
O.K. button and tried the hyperterminal again. Now, it can communiate
with the serial port. ( I need to do this every time I boot the
computer)
However, still my LabView program does not receive any string from the
serial port.
The port setting in the LabView and the device manager are same : Bits
per second: 9600, Data bus: 8. Parity: None, Stop bits:1, Flow contol:
None.

Can any one tell me how I can solve this?
Do I need Measurement & Automation Explorer for this?
I'd really appreciate it!!!

Thank you!
Jay

Hellow jay,

You should install Measurement and Automation Installer, and check in Devices and Interfaces that you have propertly configured your serial port.

bye.
