Port in use

[Tim]

I'm trying to hook up my Lowrance GPS to com port 1 which
used to work just fine. Now I get a message stating the
port is in use. When I use hyperterminal to try and hook
up it tells me a telaphony device is using the port and
to wait for it to finish? Is there a way to start up XP
with out any applications starting?

Thanks in advance.
Tim
