I originally started developing with the LPC2368 beta unit on a Windows XP machine. All was working fine with the Windows serial port driver. When the new (current) driver was released, I started using that and it wored fine. I then added a Vista machine to my office. I then loaded the new drivers onto the Vista machine and all worked fine.

Recently, I received my LPC1768 mbed. I tried it on my Vista machine, and had to re-install the Windows serial port driver but all is working well on it. Now, either board works fine on this machine.
I then tried to run the LPC1768 on my XP machine, and again found I had to re-load the Windows Serial Port Driver. When I did, Windows reported that there was a problem and could not start the serial port driver. I tried re-installing it several times, both from the website as well as from a local drive copy. Finally, I went back to my LPC2368 mbed. Re-installed drivers, and everything works fine. Going back to the LPC1768, it fails. It always says the driver could not start. I have uninstalled, re-installed, etc., but to no avail.
Again, everything works fine on my Vista machine, just not on my XP machine, and only with the LPC1768 board...the LPC2368 works fine.
Any clues as to what might be the issue?
Thanks.

The Communication Device Class (CDC) is used for implementing virtual communication ports. This example demonstrates a bridge between a Virtual COM Port on the USB Host Computer and an UART port on the evaluation board.
The following picture shows an exemplary connection of the development board and the USB Host Computer.
The Abstract.txt file contained in the Documentation group of the Project window gives you more information on the general setup and the available I/O on the development board.
Open the example project in MDK. The µVision Project window should display a similar project structure:
If you are using RTOS other than CMSIS-RTOS2 RTX5 for your project please make sure to satisfy USB Device Resource Requirements.
You may now build and download the example project to the evaluation board using the µVision commands:
After these steps, the project should start executing on your evaluation kit. In case of errors, refer to the Evaluation Board User's Guide for configuration information.
The setup of the Evaluation Board hardware is described in the Abstract.txt file.
The USB Device Virtual COM example can be tested on a Windows PC using a terminal emulation program. Since Hyperterminal in not part of Windows any more, please download an appropriate program for this purpose (such as PuTTY for example). Open the two COM ports 'COMx' and 'COMy'. Any data from 'COMx' will be echoed on 'COMy' and visa versa:

The example folder contains two files relevant for driver installation on the Microsoft Windows:
The driver files are provided as an example, the driver setup information file should be adapted and digitally signed driver catalog file should be created from adapted driver setup information file.
Driver setup information file should be adapted in the following way:
