oooh! I had this same problem, check the baud rate and stuff on your serial port, go into the device manager and find the entry for com devices, then right click on the com port and go to properties, then under I think the second tab (sorry, not on my windows machine atm), make sure those setting correspond with the ones they give you on like the third page of the start here manual. this fixed my problems, the com port defaults are probably NOT what CMU cam requires
