if you really need help, you could contact me and i could work you through some basic C code...

Did you check all the stupid things? is the serial cable dead (run an ohmmeter through each pin, if the resistance is not close to 0 in one of them, you have a dead serial)? is your COM port enabled? Does the robot give feedback to other computers?

there is so much you can troubleshoot to find the source of this error... there are a lot of variables. Something tells me that if you get a new program like EasyC running, you will have the same problem.
