I am trying to install my old palm on a new Dell with XP Home. The palm site
keeps referencing Com Ports. I can't find Com Ports on my devise manager.
What am I missing.
 
Larry- appreciate the help but there are no ports on the devise manager. I
also assumed there would be so I did a complete restore to the factory
original. Is it possible there are none.
 
If it is one of the Dell micro systems--yes.
Both Dell and Gateway build small systems with no PS2 or Com/LPT Ports.They
are USB only.
Look on the back of your PC for a D-shell connector with 9 pins (2 rows of
pins, 5 in one row, 4 in the 2nd row). If the D-shell is there and you see
no ports in device manager the ports are turned off in the CMOS settings
