I am running XP MCE. When I first setup this new notebook PC I turned off
remote access for security reasons and because I did not need it. (Do not
recall how I did that now).
I am now trying to run an old DOS app which needs a com port to run
correctly. I do not actually need to use the com 1 or 2 with it, but if it
does not find it, the app freezes and refuses to run. So, I need a com port
to be "available". I looked in my Device Manager and cannot find any mention
of legacy serial ports, only USB ports. How do I restore (or create,
emulate) a serial com port for this program to run?
Thanks.
