I recently installed some x10 software, it stole my com1 and I can't get it
back. So far, I uninstalled the software, checked all startup entries in
msconfig, reviewed and closed any suspicious processes in task manager,
searched and removed registry entries for x10, and spent a lot of time
websearching for answers. (It seems nobody uses this I/O anachronism
anymore, so info is hard to come by.) Device manager says its "working
properly," but I cant access it with my other automation software on com1 or
with hyperterminal. How can I sort out what services/processes/applications
have commandeered this serial port and root them out?
Thanks, rpg.
