Answer» My computer com port says this ( Cannot open COM 1 ) what can I do thanks lazeressQuote My computer com port says this ( Cannot open COM 1 ) [highlight]what can I do [/highlight]thanks lazeress Post a LOT more details about you SYSTEM, hardware, what is on the com port, operating system and service pack, and some history on the problem. Then we can advise. See below.My system: CPU athlon-64 AM2 3800+ AM2 Motherboard : AM2 A33G DD2 Videw, Lan, SND Ram : DDr-2 512 MB PC-533 mhz Video Card Geforce- FX 7300GS Sound Card Creative SB Audigy LS operating system : Windows XP Pro Service pack 1 I am trying to plug in my card reader and with all my other COMPUTERS I just plug it in and it works but got this new computer and it just tells me this message? and wont work I have used the Driveragent.com to update any driver but it still wont workYes, Driveragent is certainly not recommended by me, but anyway does your card reader connect via an external USB port? Which motherboard specifically is this? Why no SP2? That resolves a lot of problems and is required for support by Microsoft at this time.NO it connect right to the back on my computer with the 9 pin cable The Mother Board is ( AMD 64 AM2 Motherboards : PC Chips A33G, Onboard Video, PCI-EX, DDR2 ,LAN )DLoad and install SP2... Who makes this card reader that uses a serial cable ? ?I dont know but it works on all my other computers I think this is a driver or MAYBE just a setting that has to change it tells me that the com port is not open can anyone tell me what to doQuote DLoad and install SP2...Nexuscan any one help me with this Does any one no anything about com ports ?Still looking for some one that knows something about computers??The problem is not finding someone that knows about computers. The problem will be finding someone that knows something about a peripheral like a card reader that supposedly uses a com port. I have never seen such a thing, can't imagine one that would be that way, and certainly can't see why it would be when ALL others use USB because of the much faster data transfer rates. Com port connections are unusual for anything currently outride of an external modem. Have you contacted the manufacturer for a driver? The plug that goes into the computer has nine little pins on it, or a square or rectangular plug?This problem is the computer I went out and bought a USB to 9 pin com port connector an plugged it in and it can read the reader now . so it is the com port in the back that is not working and I still would like some one who might be able to help me fix this I have almost everything working now but the com port and that it won't RECOGNIZED my DVD drive all the time . thanks to anyone who might be able to help.What if you delete the com port in Device Manager and reboot? Is it disabled in the BIOS for some odd reason? Did it ever work that you know of? Do you use a com port for anything, now that you have a USB adapter? Is there a modem in the machine? If so, how is it configured? Did you ever install SP2 as suggested 3 days ago? If not, why not? Is this a legal XP installation? Is it XP Pro? |
