I use a Win32 comport to receive with. It has the following setup:

HANDLE m_hCom = 0;
m_hCom = CreateFile(m_sComPort,   // pointer to name of the file
                    GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,   
                    0,	            
                    NULL,	            
                    OPEN_EXISTING,	    
                    FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING,
                    NULL); 

I then read the comport with the following call:

ReadFile(m_hCom, buffer, length, &iBytesRead, NULL);

How can I prevent the PC from stripping the 0s?
