    Question Com Port Woes

    I have a cradle for a handheld scanner (Symbol) and I'm having trouble getting it to connect with my PC. I have had it working great on a different PC with Windows 2000 but I cannot seem to make it work with any other Windows 2000 system. I set up com1 to 19200, 7, Odd, 1 (same as the PC where it worked) and the scanner never sees that is connected to the PC so that I can load files on it. I have tried multiple scanners and have checked the port settings on the PC and the scanner transfer agent...all the same. Any ideas what could be causing one Win2K system to work and the others not to work? Thanks!

    Have you checked the 'integrated devices' part of BIOS setup, make sure the port is enabled in there.?

    Question Well...

    I cannot find any place in the BIOS that the ports are specified, although I see all of the USB ports, IDE etc. This is a Biostar BIOS.

    I did reset to defaults, no good.

    I have tried this on other PCs with the same OS and it won't work. Don't know what is special about the one it does work on...can't figure it out.

    It's called FlashHH. It's from ASC, a warehouse software company. They don't know what it could be either...already tried!
