No com ports ?

Hi ! I'm Paul, from France.
I'm currently working on a quadripod based on a RB-110 and AX-12+/AX-18.
I installed WinXP and VisualC++ on the Roboard,and, of course, I want to control my servos with it.
I have a problem with this part :
Using either the AX12 example or the Dynamixel SDK For Roboard I could find on Roboard.com, the servos won't move.
As the examples "speak" at 115200BPS and the servo's default configuration is 1MBPS, I tried changing the servo BaudRate with an Arduino and the Dynamixel Configurator, but 115200 BPS isn't a valid BaudRate !!
I just can choose 111111 BPS or 117647 BPS !
I really wonder how the example on RoBoard.com can move an AX12 at 115200 BPS, since AX12 can't handle this speed (it's written in the doc of the servos).
Anyway, I tried to only send 1 Byte with the Roboard, and listen with the arduino (I shortened TX&RX as said in the Dynamixel SDK For Roboard .PDF).
I dont receive anything
I tried several port, nothing !
But my project is properly configured, compiles, and when I launch the program, there's no problem in the opening of the COM port !
Would someone have an idea about these problems ?
Thank you

Well... in my despair, I uninstal all the com ports and reboot the RoBoard...
... Now, it works
It seems that the ports were unusable right after the WinXP install, but their reinstallation allowed to correct the issue !
Let's do some programming, now !
By the way, this is some of the mechanic (in an ugly background, I confess ^^)
