Does anyone know how to get the serial ports to work correctly in XP virtual mode. I have older software that must run in XP with a serial interface that do not communicate at all since the windows 7 professional installation. Virtual Serial Port Driver PRO is a complete, efficient and adaptable software that is built on the functionality and principle of Serial Port Driver. The program makes it possible to set up serial port bundles as well as set custom parameters, which makes it easy for the program to be useful in a range of scenarios. Aug 06, 2019 3. Free Virtual Serial Ports by HDD Software is a Windows user-mode software that offers creation of virtual COM ports and emulation of physical serial ports. This app operates in user-mode exclusively and acts as a hardware COM port with full functionality, baud-rate emulation, configuration of data bits, parity, stop bits, XON/XOFF flow control, etc.
I'm working on software that needs to communicate with hardware over RS232 interfaces.In order to test I'm currently using 2 USB-TO-SERIAL devices connected to eachother using an RS232 cable. (Of course both USB devices are connected to the same computer).
