earlier today after i started up my computer i got a message saying Windows detected some new hardware...which was weird cause i didn't install anything new. So after it was finished i restarted and i got an error message that said my modem was not accessible because it was already in use. That was a message from WinFax. Nothing should be using it tho cause it is just used for WinFax. So I kept messing with and the error message kept coming up. When i tested it in WinFax it said it was busy. I uninstalled it and then when i went to reinstall it wasn't detected by windows...under add new hardware, so I did it myself. Here is where i ran into a problem... It is supposed to be on COM3 but when I was installing it, it only listed COM1 and 2..but like this
COM1
COM1
COM2
COM2
Obviously there was no COM3 so I selected COM2. I didn't think it would work, and it didn't. Later while messing with the registry i saw something that listed COM1 thru COM5...why doesn't it list them when I try and install my modem?
And how can i change it to COM3 so it will work?
If you don't understand please tell me and i will try and explain my problem a little better...I am in a bit of a hurry tho...sorry.
