i have seen these symptoms on windows XP. it is a com port problem. knowing the problem does not mean I know the answer.
what I did to get better results is to change port numbers. this is not too difficult. windows control panel / system-icon / hardware-tab / device manager-button , gets access to the com ports.
right click the port and select properties.
the port setting-tab / advanced settings-button allows changing of the port number.
i changed mine from the defaulted port-7 down to port-2 and got fewer faults. (still a problem 20% of the time)
i have a USB to serial converter, and sometimes windows changes the port number on me. so I just change it back to what works best.
someone else may know the root cause, but at least we can work around the problem.
