106491	2002-12-16 22:21:00	You could try changing (Either in the BIOS or Doze) the com port number that the port acutally is, from 1 to, say, 4, or higher in Doze! It may be trying to use port 1 which would already be being used. Otherwise, try disabling onboard Com ports in the BIOS and see what happens!	Chilling_Silence (9)
106492	2002-12-17 00:56:00	Could you please explain how? Many thanks once again,	~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054)
106493	2002-12-17 01:09:00	In the BIOS, It'll be under Oboard settings or soemthing, but in doze, open up system properties ( I dunno what OS, so I'm going by Win2K, but I think you're running 98 from memory... Should be the same though ) or Hardware/Device Manager. Select Ports (Com and LPT) and then select Com 1 Go Properties Select Port Settings and then Advanced. Then Change the Com Port Number and try re-adding the hardware. Id try looking thru the BIOS first and then trying to change the resources it uses in there, or simply disabling it alogether!
