"device doesn't match setting" error picprog2006/K

hey

I have an error “the settings don’t match the pic in the programmer. Continue?” when i try to read/write to any device in the programmer (K8076 using picprog2006 V2.2.0.0).

I only seem to have this problem on my new computer (1.5 years old, windows XP SP2) on my older windows 98 SE computer it works fine with the same settings, cable, power supply and pic.

Could this be caused by windows XP or newer COM port? Is there any solution to let it work on my new computer?
