I haven't heard about the power saving for serial ports in XP but have for USB. If it is USB you are having problems with do the following:
1: Click Start | Run | type devmgmt.msc and select OK to open system properties.
2: Expand the universal serial bus controllers.
3: Double click on the USB Root Hub to open the Properties.
4: Select the Power Management tab and uncheck the 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'.
Hope this helps - if not give a bit more infomation on the problem.
