Tim have you considered the prospect of running a 32 bit version of Windows on your 64 bit machine using virtualisation software like the free
Virtualbox?
I'm not sure what the level of hardware port access required is but know it's possible to emulate a lot of that in x64 operating systems, if the Lexia worked in Windows XP which has the Windows NT Hardware Abstraction Layer (as opposed to the direct hardware access - and instability - of Windows 98, Me etc), then it should be possible to get it working and accessing the COM ports in a 32 bit virtual environment.

I had heard about that, but I'm a bit of a technological cripple so there's zero chance of me putting your advice into action.
