I would be grateful if anyone could anyone could help me to add a Com port (and make it work!) in Windows 2000 Pro.
The background....
The PC was initially supplied with Win 2K Pro already installed, with the modem on Com3. Recently I have had to reinstall the operating system but cannot get Com3 and hence the modem, to work.
I have added the port using Device Manager and in the Properties tab for Com3 I have attempted to configure it manually using the fixed settings, ensuring no conflicts in the device list. Whichever setting I use gives me a yellow exclamation mark in the device list, with the message - This device cannot start (Code 10).
What am I doing wrong?
