Hi
Can anyone solve this perplexing problem. I am reading from a serial port 
using

ReadFile(hCom,SerInBuff,298,&dwReadSer,&OverlappedSer);

hCom is created with

 hCom= CreateFile("com1",GENERIC_READ ,0,NULL,
                         OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED,NULL);

All works fine except that my non paged pool memory increases without limit, 
until eventually the machine runs out of resources and hangs.

Do I have to reset a pointer in some way? SerInBuff is emptied before 
reading afresh

Ray
