Monica52 + Windows XP : Serial port issues ??

monica52 8051

Ok, yesterday i pulled out my old 8051 µc development board
Now its kinda old and the kernel i bured to it works together with a debugging program called "monica 52"
It used to work perfect under dos and windows 95
But when trying it together with windows XP it doesnt work.
Let me explain
The debugger (monica52) starts up fine and finds the µC board
but when i try to load a simple test program it doesnt work because for some reason extra data is loaded into it
For Example i want to load
8000 7400 start: MOV A, #00H
8002 F590 MOV P1, A

Now under dos this used to work perfect but now under windows something like this happens (or other random variations like this)

8000 00
8001 00
8002 FE
8003 FF
8004 7400
8006 F590

Somehow it seems that other data is on the serial connection (data that is causing these problems)
All my setting are exactly as they should be (baudrate d/s bit etc)
Its related to the way Win XP handles the serial port
Anyone knows how to solve this ?

Did you ever solve the issue?
I am having the same problem with an older serial device and windows XP.

Thank-You in advance

Hi

Does it nt help if you run the software in win95 mode within XP?
