Selecting Desired Com Ports in Windows 2003 Server

Realport
1

When i add the Digi TS 8 as a device in Windows the only com ports that are available for selection are 19 and higher. The com ports i need to assign are below that.

How to I get all the com ports to show up in the list so i can assign the ones i need(3-8). Also, all other com ports on the server were unistalled.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like phantom ports. It’s a known Microsoft issue where the registry isn’t properly cleaned up after a serial expansion product is uninstalled.
