Re: Trouble getting xPL Comfort to work

The serial interface shouldn't be a problem as I have an old one as well.
The error you are getting seems to be like you say, that something has got
itself in a knot.

Try removing all references to johnb-comfort from the config directories
that are under the data folder in program files\xplhal.  Also remove the
xpl comfort xml file from winnt\system32.  Then try restarting the
xplcomfort service.

Hello John,

xPL Comfort and xPLHal are on the same machine, and the hub is switched on
in xPLHalManager, so I think my machine must have got itself in a knot!

If I double click on xPL Comfort in xPLHalManager I just get the
"unexpected
response... 418 no vendor info" message.

Just had a thought - I'm using the original serial interface that came with
my Comfort system in 1999, in the days of CS-Xpress 2.05. Perhaps this
device is too old to be supported by xPL Comfort?

Rob.
