Is Com1 available in your control panel, if not drop down to the BIOS and enable it.

Witchy,

On the drop down box in dreamup it would only let me select COM3 is this ok..if not could you give me some pointers to enable COM1?

Cheers

check to ensure if no other USB device driver installed or running at the background, as most of usb devices; mobilephone manager, activesync, hotsync etc... tend to uses com1 as their normal usb to coms translator.

Ive got activesync installed , but this isn,t running, ive closed everything that i think could be interferring with the ports but still only showing port3.. would uninstalling activesync and other programs that are possibly causing the problems be the next step?
