Download this guide.
One of the most frustrating things with Vista is checking which com port has
been allocated by the operating system. Below you will find our guide showing
you how you check which com port has been allocated and how to change it.
Look out for the yellow boxes!
1). Go to the start icon and select Control Panel.
(Don’t be confused by the fact that I have my windows menu on the top of my
screen).
2). In the search window type “Computer Mana”
3). Then “View advance system settings”
Warning window comes up saying that “Windows Needs Your Permission to
continue”
Only continue if you are comfortable with what you are doing if not
PLEASE get you IT department to assist you.
