I have an external input device that I want to use on my computer.
Dell running Windows XP Pro. For whatever reason, when I hook it up
it automatically gets assigned to COM5, 9, 11 or some other high
random port number.
The problem is, in order for it to even work, I will need to go into
Accessibility Options / Serial Keys and enable it, but my only choices
for COM ports are 1-4. (so you see my dilemma?)
Is there anyway to get Windows (Accessibility Options) to recognize/
see the higher port numbers?
OR
How can I get this device to utilize COM 2, 3 or 4?
By the way - under device manager >> Ports: 2, 3 & 4 aren't even
listed...
I'm stuck....
any help, advice, feedback or suggestions would be very much
appreciated!
