Hello,

When i turn my bluetooth of with the button on my laptop the software doesn't freeze anymore so that's indeed the problem.
But my wifi is turned of too so how can i disable these ports in windows?

Mmh, I have a German XP. But I hope you will see where it is.

I disabled all the bluetooth com ports but when i click on tools it still freezes. If I check serial ports its greyed out because there are non so they are really all disabled. (my vista is in dutch ;-) )

mmh, heavy to say. The reason for my slow Arduino were these two Bluetooth COM ports (COM5 & COM12 in the picture).
