Windows 95/98 won't release the serial ports
Windows 95/98 won't release the serial ports
Many users have experienced a problem when trying to run the Connectivity
Pack on a Windows 95/98 desktop or laptop. The program installs and runs
but it cannot seem to capture the serial port. As a result, there is no
way to communicate with the Palmtop over the connecting cable.
To force Windows to release its serial ports, include the following
additional lines under the heading "[386Enh]" in the system.ini file in
the windows directory:
ComBoostTime=5
Com1AutoAssign=2
Com2AutoAssign=2
Com3AutoAssign=2
Com4AutoAssign=2
Com1FIFO=1
Com2FIFO=1
Com3FIFO=1
Com4FIFO=1
Reboot the machine and see if you can get the Palmtop to connect
with the desktop using Filer.
Some users have stated that this suggestion does work. Others
have not been so lucky.
