I have two COM Ports (or Serial Ports, as some would like to call it), but only one is detected.<P>There is COM1 and COM2, but only COM2 is recognized and it is recognized as COM1.<P>I would like to have COM1 and COM2 detected and be used, but I'm not sure how to do it. Can anyone help?<P>I don't know how to be any clearer. If you would like some more details, I would be glad to provide them.
Why do people point at their wrist when they ask me for the time? Where else am I going to wear a watch?

Check your BIOS settings to make sure both of them are enabled. If that doesn't work, check MS System Information to make sure there aren't any hardware conflicts.

I just learned more about my serial ports and I noticed that COM2 is the modem. Unfortunetely, COM2 is not available.<P>It really makes no sense. I go to the BIOS setting and enable COM2. But, COM2 is the modem.<P>Right now, all I know is that I have two COM ports on the back, but only one is working.
