COM port grabbing
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 |

Older versions of hotsync release the comport OK..
You can stop HotSync from loading at startup, I suppose you can find it in the msconfig utility. As for the modem, try disabling it in the device manager and then restarting. |
