Hi
Is there a utility that will tell me what program is using the com port?
I've got a Windows XP Pro PC and I'm trying to get an application to work
that sends data to com1. This isn't working and when I try and test to send
a file from another PC using Hyperterm it says it can't access com1 as its
in use by another package - and not its not the one I'm trying to get
working as thats shutdown. System manager shows the port as OK and working
and I can't see any conflicts on irq or address in device manager.
I've run the PC up in dos and used some utlities to check the port and they
are all showing it as fine including testing it with loopbacks and no
problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx
Jay
