The IO operation has been aborted when I try to open serial port

Question

I have software that opens a serial port using C# and it does good with hardware com but with usb 2 serial com ports I get this error

the i/o operation has been aborted because of either a thread exist or an application request

I don't know what it means... although hyperterminal works very well at the same machine.

My code looks like this:

SerialPort.Open();

after initialization of course by the way my code work very will with Hardware Com Port !
