Have you got the ports turned on in your BIOS Joe? Press DEL on boot
up and have a look!

Hi,

I'm keying my rig on RTTY via COM-1 of the computer but on
start-up none of the standard software packages can find a COM
port to use. If I go into 'Device Manager' though, delete a port
and then re-install it, everything works fine until next time.
This I guess means that the ports are not being initialised.

Has anyone come across this and is there a simple fix? I have
already asked this question in the appropriate OS group (Windows
XP Home) but to no avail.
