I just set up an MSI K7t266-Pro2-RU, Althlon 1800+, and Windows XP Pro. I have a 56k PCI Winmodem, a
SCSI controller card and a graphics card. When i tried to install a serial digital camera memory reader on one
of the COM ports, it reported that none were available. The modem takes up COM 3. What could be using
COM 1 and COM 2? Is there a BIOS setting that might be messing it up? Any way to force the modem to take
a normal COM 1 or 2? Where do you find in XP which devices are using the COM ports?
