Lookout locks up upon startup

Hi and Happy Holidays
 
 I have just changed computers (upgrade) from older computer running windows xp home to newer computer with windows xp pro. I am using the same version of lookout with same process file. When the computer starts up from boot up and launchs lookout it freezes and goes into a state that only ctrr-alt-delete can be used to dump lookout program. Since the process uses OPC client, my first thought is serial port conflict with RS Linx. I also notice that in the earlier computer RS Linx had to be running in back ground before process would work correctly. Lookout for some reason starts OPC client automatically. This may be causing some problem as well.
 
If I disconnect the serial cable and allow lookout to fully load and wait for the missing serial cable alarm in lookout, then reconnect the serial cable the process works normal as long as the computer is up and running.
 
Info windows XP pro, Service Pack 2, Lookout 6.01 build 1, RS Linx 2.30.02 build 79
RS232 cable is connected to 1747-pic adapter to SLC503
 
I sorry if this has been discussed before, I did not see any recent activity.
 
Thanks Dan

I suggest you to upgrade to Lookout 6.0.2 and its updates
It has fixed some OPC client's bugs.
