WaitCommEvent problem on windows XP

jim
Hi, All
I am using python (activestate 2.2.2-224) on XP home and have suddenly got
the following error from a file which works fine under millenium.

File "E:\code\Python \PyModbus\FEMod busV101.py", line 162, in ComPortWrite
rc,mask =win32file.Wait CommEvent(self. hComm,self.Over lapped)
api_error: (87, 'WaitCommError' , 'The parameter is incorrect.')

self..hComm is a proper handle to the comm port
self.Overlapped is a proper overlapped object

I think the api call requires 3 parameters but only 2 are used in python
I have checked through old messages and found quite a few about this but saw
no solution ?

is it me ?

any help gratefully received.
regards
Jim

I have a need to become familiar with SQL Server 2000 for work. Needless to say I am new to SQL Server any version, but not IT in general.

In fact so many of you kind people confess to having succeeded in doing it. I have tried...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
