I'm not have a great week ...
I send my app to people for testing and everything works except the 
communication on the Serial Port. I create a new directory on a new 
partition on my PC and try myself. No problem. I have an old Win98 
machine that I try my app on and it runs fine except for the Serial port 
communication. After copying javax.com.proprties and win32com.dll to 
every possible java directory I still can't get it to work. I only get 
an option pane with Exception [OK]. I get the BlackBox program to run 
but only to find that - no ports identified. Back to my WinXP and check 
where I have copied the files but nothing strange or new, same lib and 
bin as I tried.

Anyone has any ideas on how to debug this?

PS. I went into my Windows system setting and verified that the COMport 
settings were OK.
