My computer has 4 COM ports and 1 LPT port.
The device manager show "!" for COM1 and COM3, saying that
there are not enough resources for both of them (code 12).
Both of the COM ports have the same IRQ setting (IRQ 04),
whereas the LPT port, COM2 and COM4 are working fine.
Uninstalling and reinstalling all devices didn't help
(plug&play).
Ideally, I'd like to use all 5 ports simultaneously, without
having different hardware profiles. At least I need 3 of 4
COM ports.
My question:
1)If I wanted to change the resource settings manually, how
would I choose the "Settings based on..." options? Besides
"current setting", options are "basic configuration 0000",
...., "basic configuration 0008".
2)If changing the resource settings is tricky, are there
easier ways how to permanetly disable one COM port?
