Hi,
I'm trying to connect my PC to my mobile via a serial cable but, all of a sudden, I can't!
The maker of the communication software, Logomanager, say that it's because either my modem driver or Hotsync (used to connect a Palm handheld to the PC) driver is "grabbing" the COM port!
Also, Hotsync doesn't "let go" even when it's exited - the driver "holds the port", they say!
This seems mad! My modem is external and on COM1 but Hotsync is USB. However, it did start sometime after I installed a new modem and Hotsync
Could this be true?
How can I investigate it? How can I stop it?
Cheers,
R.
PS
My PC runs Win98SE
