Hello
I have a new Win 7 64 bit laptop and I'm unable to connect with a "BlackBox" computer via a serial connection. Have a friend who is able to connect with his 32 bit Win 7 computer. From all I can tell, the settings are all the same.

I get overrun errors RX:6 (IF:0) when I try to connect. I've added the rxdelay: command and tried values from 100-5000 with no change.
Specs: Motherboard, Dell Laptop Latitude E7450
Processor Type/Speed Intel Core I7-5600U @ 2.60Ghz
Memory/Ram 8gb
Video Intel HD graphics 5500 1696MB
Sound Realtek High Definition
OS Win 7 64 bit
Game Name: N/A connecting to a black box computer to configure it via a utility provided by manufacturer
Reproducibility: Everytime I try to connect, the overruns start immediately
Tried using a serial port and A usb-serial adapter. Both work for my buddy. I look at the device driver in hardware and find the com port used and edit the config file with the correct port. Here is what I modified in my config file:

serial1=directserial realport:com6
serial2=dummy
serial3=disabled
serial4=disabled
# rxdelay:2000 (temporarily disabled as I played around with different values)
