As someone fairly new to such matters I need help please.
I have a GPS program which gives you the options of choosing com ports 1
through to com 9 but no higher. The actual GPS device has installed itself
in Com 26. I have checked and found that the other earlier ports 2 to 24 are
said to be 'in use' I cannot see what they are used for but I have installed
some usb to com drivers over the last few months for mobile phones and have
noticed that they use successive com ports. I tried to manually alter the
com port in Device manager but it rejected it.
Any ideas would be welcome
Thanks
Bob
