Hi Benj,
Great news, it's working on my windows XP PC.
I think that you need to restart the PC after installing the driver else you'll get an error, like I had.
I did not change the code, I just connected the PIC to the PC and saw that the PC didn't show me any error.
I opened hyperterminal, but changing the bits per second to 9600 gave me an error.
So I went to the device manager and looked at the parameters of the COM7 (pic serial usb) and changed the bits per second from 19200 to 9600, then reseted the pic.
I opened hyperterminal again, changed bits per second to 9600, flow control to none, then I wrote my name an saw it on the LCD screen.
Everything I'm writing in the hyperterminal is written on the LCD screen
.
I'm going to uninstal the driver, instal it again, if I see that there's an error (code 10) I'll reset the PIC and/or restart the PC.
If it works then I'll try to send chars from the PIC to the PC instead of sending chars from the PC to the PIC.

EDIT 1:
Like I thought it doesn't work anymore. I did get an error code 10, I reseted the PIC and the error was gone.
I changed the bits per second in the COM7 parameters to 9600.
Then I tried hyperterminal but it gave me an error "Can not connect to COM7, check properties" or something like that.
And right know it doesn't detect it at all !
Right know I'm trying to reflash the PIC with the same program and different VID/PID, but it takes forever to build the ASM.
I'll restart the PC to see if something happens...

EDIT 2:
Okay I'm back
.
I needed to hard reboot the PC, because it wouldn't restart. Even with shutdown -a command.
It worked, but I just reseted the PIC and it doesn't work anymore.

EDIT 3:
Still no luck with the PIC. It just won't work anymore...
I did try on another PC (windows vista), installation is ok, but same error in hyperterminal (needed to download it because windows vista doesn't have hyperterminal).
This is the error I get from the hyperterminal.
I'm very disappointed that it doesn't work anymore.
I don't have the courage to continue right now.
I will try, perhaps, another day.
Thank you Benj for helping me.
Regards,
Nicolas L. F.
