Click on the AH shortcut.
Properties
Compatibility Tab
Run this program in compatibility mode. Pick Windows 98/ME.
Disable visual themes.
Turn Off Advanced Text Services for this program.

Try the above and see if it helps.

I have XP SP3 and it is flaky on mine and a known problem reported here.
In my case it looses connection to the CM11A periodically.

I don't use my CM11A much these days. Sometimes to test the newer versions of AHP that now support the CM15A;CM19A and CM11A.
