I use Laplink 10 under Windows XP to connect two computers with a serial
cable. Laplink has been using COM 3. Now, Laplink tells me that the port is
"unavailable." Using the Laplink option to try to configure and enable the
port does not work. A portion of the "configure" dialog/setup box is
greyed-out.

My other COM ports are also unavailable. Device Manager shows only COM 1.

How can I renable a COM port, probably COM 3, so that Laplink can again use
it? I will appreciate advise.
