My DELL Inspiron 8200 with Windows XP Professional SP1 is experiencing COM port problems. In Device Manager only one modem is indicated and that is the internal modem in my computer. I have attempted to install another device using COM ports and when I try to assign a COM port my system shows COM ports 1 through 6 all being used. When I use "Advanced System Information" to check the system it shows multiple modems set up using COM ports 1 through 6. My internal modem is one of those, but the rest do not exist as far as I can determine. How can I get rid of the phantom modems that I can see in "Advanced System Information" but don't show up in "Device Manager"
