DocSilly 0 Posted November 29, 1999 I had to upgrade my mobo BIOS to a newer version (ASUS P2B-LS) to get the COM ports to work correctly ... just an idea. Share this post Link to post
Igor 0 Posted November 30, 1999 I see Comm 1,2,3,4 and they all have "?" mark. Also I can't access my modem. It is on the Comm 4 IRQ 3, Win2k says "can't open com port" Basicaly suggesting that I don't have a free comm port . Win98 has no problem dealing with the setup.. Just 2000 has problem.
