Not really sure if this is the right place

My Computer is Opliplex GX280 SD



I encountered 2 problems that I'm having a h... of a time finding my way through.

1. The serial port plugin on the back doesn't work. I have gone into bios and check everything and the only thing I can see that might pertain to it is that in auto mode it disables Com port 3. When I go into Windows system DEVICE MANAGER it also says that Com port 3 can't startup. Error 10. Checked resources and IRQ's and made adjustments to remove conflicts. Still Error 10 with no conflicts. Reinstalled drivers with no avail. I'm a little lost now. Anyone have any input that would be appreciated. Thanks



2. The front USB's are not working or recognizing anything plugged in. I have looked inside to make sure all connections are made and everything seems to be plugged in. Not sure if this is linked to the above problem or not. I would imagine so. Any feedback would be appreciated.



Like I stated before. The computer is an Optiplex GX280 CD



Thanks for your time
No actual answer but, am remembering from way back - the 9 PIN serial can also be ''seen'' as a COM 4 can it not?

Thus wondering if any chance it could be recognized as such. No idea right now on the USB aspect, sorry.

Have you tried uninstalling the USB in Device Manager and rebooting
to let Windows do a reinstall of USB?Quote
