K8076 Programmer, WinXP and FIFO buffers

my board works fine on my older computer (running windows 98) so i don’t think anything is wrong with the connections or board. I just think the kit is not compatible with modern com ports :?

I could use the older computer the only problem is that the picprog2006 crashes when u click the button to find out where to place the wires on the board (in windows 98) :roll:
