| 291743 | 2004-11-14 08:39:00 | I have just set up a new PC running XP Pro. I run a DOS program called Xtalk Communicator to link with a Unix server, but this program runs slow. ie there is a delay between a key push and the screen reacting. I run this program on about 8 other similar PC's with XP Pro and do not have this problem. I have checked hardware settings, baud rate, flow control etc and all are set right. Does anyone have any suggestions?? |

| 291745 | 2004-11-25 08:49:00 | Its running through a Comms (serial) port so I fitted a new one but just the same!!!!!! | Muzz (1286) | ||
| 291746 | 2004-11-25 13:25:00 | Hey Muzz, XP usings cmd.exe even though command.exe still exists, it is really just for backwards compatibity, if possible run it through cmd.exe and it should be faster. Kame |

| 291747 | 2004-11-26 04:45:00 | Does the MS-supplied HyperTerm behave the same? In XP programmes can't directly access I/O ports (like the serial ones).... but why one box should be slow when others aren't is a progblem.;-) Could you have the wrong handshaking? (None, hardware, software). | Graham L (2) | ||

| 291749 | 2004-11-29 03:26:00 | No Hyperterminal runs fine but some of the key commands don't suit the program we are running. Thanks for your comments | Muzz (1286) | ||
| 291750 | 2004-11-29 03:28:00 | Also...have tried different handshaking etc but to no avail! Am going to install Win2k and see if that works as have quite a number of other PC's running that without a prob. will do a clean install so will sort out any gremlins! | Muzz (1286) | ||
| 291751 | 2004-11-29 03:33:00 | Could you have a modem on the "same" COM port pair (1-3 with INT 4, 2-4 with INT 3)? The (DOS) terminal emulator I use is called conex. It's free , and works very well. It should still be available in any Simtel archive. |
