Have a ThinkPad 600 with integral serial port configured as COM 2. Internal
modem originally assigned to COM 3 is disabled. Installed a virtual COM port
driver which used COM 3 as input and created virtual COM 4 and COM 5.
Installed a 4-port USB hub, USB to 2 serial port adapter and other hardware,
using several COM ports.
When I uninstalled the virtual COM port driver, disconnect the 4-port hub,
and connected the USB serial port adapter directly to the ThinkPad USB port
and tried to configure the USB adapter serial ports as COM 3 and COM 4
(after rebooting), they (and all others, up to COM 9) were shown as "in use"
and could not be used. Is there a way to recover the use of these COM port
numbers?
