The program was to control Sony ES receivers via their RS-232 port but I kept getting some weird exception error and the program crashing before it even loaded up. The solution was to get a file, mscomm32.ocx. This file may or may not be on your system already, you can do a file search to look for it. Then (this is assuming you put it in the C:\ root directory) open the run box on XP (Start---->Run; or Windows Key + R) and type in "regsvr32 c:\mscomm32\mscomm32.ocx". After I did that the program worked fine. This may or may not work for you however, but it is worth a try I'd say. Roland M.
