You know that com port works? Older machines serial ports were poorly or not even buffered sometimes. Also if this is a programming laptop, where you use it to program other radios, make sure none of the other programming software is tying up that com port while the machine is running.

Hit the 'Start' button, and in the shutdown menu, one selection will be "Restart in MS-DOS mode." Select that, and it will take you to a true DOS environment. You'll have to navigate back to the directory you have your program in from there using DOS commands. Jim
