I couldn’t get to anything yet and probably will go in different direction: I was able to obtain the data from the port with Hyper Terminal. Now the question is how to obtain the data coming from 4...

Thank you Christian. T'll try to find some info on internet.

You should declear the number as a string or to convert it as a string. In your way it treat it as an integer and takes off the zeros of the front which don't mean anything for the compiler.

That may be the reason , but where I can find those drivers

Yes. The drivers are there and installed. The message it gave mi is:"The device can't start. Cod(10)

Can sombody advise me or show me a semple code how I can obtain 10 bit data information from device connected to my com1 port?
Thank you very much in advance.

I have win98 and win2000 proffesional installed on two separate hard drives. The 2000 is installed from win98 on a separate hard disk and partition(NTFS).
the problem is that the USB ports dont work...
