Where are they? Why can't I see the com ports in configuration/system ?
I wanted to install a USB GPS mouse, it installed fine and the USB2
serial prog installed too. I even see the virtual com port under system
but the additional program to test the GPS mouse, doesn't find any COM
port at all???
In this program there is a window where a com port can be selected under
win 95 win 98 XP NT but under Vista it is empty?


Thanks for suggestions

Edmund
