Yes, I am running as administrator and UAC is disabled. The primary symptom
here is just very sluggish operation and then eventually faulting out after
a few minutes. I think that I will try the Eterlogic virtual com port
software that Neil mentioned and see what happens. I have no idea why Vista
does not run well with the virtual com ports in this case, it is
disappointing. The odd part is that HRD (which has no issues with Vista)
supports VCom and even includes the software. It must be just some strange
Vista thing. Can't blame Billy anymore.

Ross, I think you are right. I set up my laptop to run the same software.
My laptop is a duo AMD processor running XP Pro. I loaded the same versions
of PowerSDR, HDR and Vcom. I configured everything the same as my Vista
desktop. It ran fine and had not dropped out after two hours. There was no
sluggishness in HDR. Vista is the problem. There was another post that
listed a site for some new virtual com port software that was freeware. It
is listed as being compatible with Vista. see Neal Campbell - "New Virtual
port software" post. Looks interesting.
