Lost COM1 Port
Jun 2, 2008
(running Vista Home Premium) I seem to have lost my COM1 port (and all other COM / LPT ports with it). I use Palm T5 and need the COM1 port for synching this device. The Palm cradle is plugged into a USB connection straight into the computer (not the USB hub ports). But I get the error "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. Hotsynch manager will open the port when it become available."
I dont have any modems etc running, and when I look in Device manager, there is no line like "Communication ports", COM and Printer ports or something like it. Curiously, I have my old HP Laser jet 4 running smoothly - so there must be some printer port somewhere.

I have evga motherboard with built in Realtek HD audio (ALC883). Board features 2 ports for digital audio (optical and coaxial). and according to manual both are output. However when installed vista drivers one of the ports has been chosen as digital output (optical) and another as digital input (coax) (i can see that when i hover the mouse over the jacks in "Realtek HD audio manager") Is there any way to make the coaxial port as an output port instead of optical? My my HT reciver has no free optical ports so i have to use coax to get some sound from the computer.

my son retuned home this weekend with his HP Compaq CQ61 Notebook and told me his dongles, Itouch and stuff dont work? told me his mum had it at a shop and the guy did a restore and couldn't find the problem or fix it? I wonder what kind off shop it was? so i took a look and looks like someone has try'd to put something or FORCE something into USB port? i'v uploaded a pic from silly phone sorry about Quality but u can see that the port on the right is broken? AKA Wont work now the port on the left looks ok, so i try'd to hook up ex HD, Iphone and nothing works ? no power to device and PnP dont find anything new ?
i checked Device Manager and states that Drivers are ok and up to date? so the right one is gone and needs replaced i thought the left one would still work but seems not to ? should it?

My Son's computer was working yesterday and this morning he can't surf using IE 8 or Firefox. It appears Port 80 is being blocked. I have disabled the firewall temporarily and this did not resolve the issue. I did the "netsh winsock reset" and this did not fix the problem. I have reset my router with no change. I am able to ping the DNS, the Default router and his IP address within the command window. I can also ping yahoo.com, google.com within the command window, but can't reach them with either browser. He did not have System Restore enabled, so I can't use that as a solution. Can the group recommend some options for me to try? He is using Vista Home Premium, and a wireless card. I can also see ALL GREEN when I open up the Network Sharing tool. There is a green line between his IP and the Wireless Card and green line between the Wireless Card and the Internet.

Pretty strange that I couldn't find one google result about WHERE a USB 2.0 port is, everything is "how do I know I have USB 2.0" and not actually where they are on the computer. Some may say well, just plug in a USB 2.0 usb and see what happens.
However my USB Drive has ALWAYS been saying I'm plugging it in in a port that does not support USB 2.0. I've done this at my college and the same bs occurs. This does not occur for any of my USB drives, not even my 16G one. Should also mention that whenever I try to access the USB drive, it says "Drive E not formatted, would you like to format it now?" Obviously I click no. This by the way has nothing to do with my recent virus issues. This particular USB drive has been like this for years now.-

I am curious about the change to port 587. After upgrading to Vista SP1, using Windows Mail, I had the same problem as a few on this board, but only with my roadrunner service. I could receive mails. However, I could send e-mails that were very short (read one or two lines), but anything of any length and I got the usual message of server connection unexpectly closed. I turned off my antivirus program completely and still got the message and could not send e-mails of any basic length. However, I did try the suggestion in a previous thread of changing the smtp port to 587 (even though it appeared to be a comcast network) and, so far, it appears to solve my problem with roadrunner (knock on wood).

I had Apache server installed on Vista Home Premium and it worked fine until the Vista security update 2 days ago. Something is blocking port 80. I ran netstat -ano and find out it is PID 4 which is System is using port 80, but I have no idea which one just added with the update to stop the service.

Vista Home Premium SP1. Is it possible to use more than one device in a single USB port? The reason I ask is that I have five USB ports, four at the back and one at the front. As the one at the front is more accessible, I use this for a Joystick I occasionally use. Can I also use this same port for another device, in this case an MP3 player, not at same time?

I'm asking the right question ...I have an older application (circa 2002) that connects to a VHF radio thru a serial or USB cable. The software only has provisions for communicating with the radio thru COM's 1 thru 4. Is there some way to emulate or dedicate a COM port thru a USB connection?

I have an Acer laptop with Vista Home and want to get an MPV film clip on it, from a brief segment of a talk show on my Tivo. I have a Dazzle plugged into a USB port, and have installed drivers that device manager shows to be working correctly. "Help" says I can use USB as a source, but I cannot find a way.

I login remotely to 3 servers, and if I choose 5 clients. I have full administrator rights. Suddenly, I am not able to remote into Client 01( Windows Vista). Our MS Pro says someone or something has blocked or locked :3389 and he does not know how to either rebuild it or fix it. The client, is a fairly new Dual Core Vista Machine and I was logging into it just fine, until...A major Software program was installed, and certain permissions were accessed (I do not know which ones). Then it blocked me. It is locked or blocked. We can't seem to find the one thing we need to get it back. The permissions pertained to multiple users ,using the same program on our application Server. No one, including the MS Pro would have purposely shut that port down. What I am looking at from my out of town side is: A BRICK. It Says: Connectiveity to the Remote Computer could not be established. Ensure that the remote computer is on and connected to the Small Business Server network.

Have a web site (portal if you will) that i log into to get files etc from the office..it uses NT Challeng response for authentication once you hit the URL. Under XP it brings up the user id and password which lets me in..Vista on the other hand alos brings up the login dialog but just never gets authenticated. I suspect it's Vista given XP and IE7 works...anyone any thoughts? I've removed all firewalls etc to see what happens without them but to no avail...

I have some old hardware with an RS232 (9 pin) connection to my notebook. I have downloaded a driver for the Serial to USB converter, and my Vista Enterprise OS seems happy with it. However, the hardware only allows communication with COM ports 1 to 4, and as far as I can judge my USB ports are 8, 9 and 10. Can I renumber these ports to make communication possible, or is there another way of doing this?

my netgear router dg834g will not portforward, i am new too this so its probably an easy mistake where i am going wrong.
ive tried following the insructions by finding my router on portforward.com and going through those steps, and it didnt seem too work so i started too look for more detailed guides on the internet.
i came across this Internet video Internet - port forwarding on the dg834g and did everything it said once id completed the steps i went too canyouseeme.org too test my port and it was closed.
error: i could not see your service on xx.x.xx.xx on port (43594)
reason: connection timed out that is what canyouseeme.org told me.
id also like too add i think my problem may lie with my laptop not being directly connected too the router, would this change any steps in the Internet video above?

I recently bought a HD Camcorder. I bought Pinnacle Studio Ultimate to edit my film. I am able to connect my camcorder to my laptop using USB, but the software doesn't recognize my camera. It says I need to use Firewire or 1394 port. When I hook my camera up with HDMI, the camera and computer do not recognize each other. I know the HDMI works, because I've used it for my TV. I am not sure what the Firewire port is, or if my laptop has on?I much rather use my HDMI port. Is there a way I can get my computer to
recognize devices hooked up through HDMI ? I am using Windows Vista.

I just bought a new 4-port USB hub after my old one had stopped working for some reason, and I can't plug in more than 1 device at a time. My old one also had 4 ports and I could use my 2GB USB drive and my wireless mouse at the same time without any problems. With my new hub, If I have my mouse plugged in and then plug in my USB drive, my mouse stops working (as if I have pulled the receiver out - the 'safely remove hardware icon disappears) and my USB doesn't even connect. Then If I remove either one, the other one which is still plugged in will connect again.
I've also had the same problem if I try any combination with my external hard drive. My external HD has its own power source and has the same problem. I can't say though, whether my old hub worked with either my mouse or USB stick, because I didn't have an external back then.
I've tried opening Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and looking around in the USB section for the power being supplied to the ports, but it only shows 98 mA for my mouse. And what I don't understand is, even when I run this program without the hub plugged in, it'll show 5 listings for 'USB Root Hub'. Now my laptop has 4 usb ports and an integrated webcam, and the options for the 5th listing says my camera's name along with 500 mA, even though I'm not even using it. And when I plug the hub in, it doesn't show any new entries, and the properties for my mouse show up under the previous 'USB Root Hub' entries.
Does this have to do with my hub not being able to support more than 1 device at a time, or is this a power supply problem? (power supply as in the power that's being supplied to my USB ports, not PSU). And if I haven't mentioned already, both my old and new hubs do not have an external power source, the just have a USB connection.

I bought a CFI Enclosure off newegg.com and is of the type: SiI3132 - PCI Express (1x) to 2 Port SATA300. I am able to install the card and seemingly install the drivers okay, but whenever I use the RAID software from silicon image: SiI 3132 32 & 64-bit Windows SATARAID5 Management Utility (1.51.8.10 B)
SATARAID5 Management Utility for 32 & 64-bit Windows supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Use this tool with the latest SATARAID5 drivers and BIOS. Latest SiI3132 SATARAID5 driver:1.5.18.0; Latest SiI3132 SATARAID5 BIOS:7.4.05_;_ see the associated readme and the latest SiI3132 documents.**
The tool always gives me an error that no sil3132 drivers were found on the system. The kicker is that I can see and use all four drives in the enclosure but the java-based tool doesn't seem to be looking in the right places for the drivers.

I've been trying to load a fairly old game on to my vista laptop but I've been running into a blue screen every single time. From what I've gathered the error that appears, "SSHDRV76.SYS", is related to some old copyright protection system that is no longer supported by Vista (something about checking the disk). It seems highly improbably this late after the game's release for Ascaron to release a patch to fix the problem, and so I was wondering if there were any workarounds available?
I've already attempted to Used compatibility (Windows 2000 + Windows XP) modes Use Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools to create a virtual CD. didn't work Tried to patch using the German patches; patches never finished + judging by what others have said would have resulted in the entire game being converted into German.

I'm running vista home premium 64 bit on a Toshiba satellite A300 PCAGCA. I have recently purchased a Amicore "Philips" 3.5 sata enclosure model SDE 5170BC. I have fitted this enclosure with a 750 Gb WD barracuda HHD model ST3750528AS. The system recognises the drive when is plugged into the USB 2.0 but not when it plugged into the eSata port.
