Shiva,

When the Windows hddl.exe complains that it cannot open the port, it
is usually due to another Windows programming using / holding that
serial port.

Try all the comm ports to see if hbdl.exe allows it to open one of
them, then attach the handyboard to that comm port.

If none of the comm ports are available to open, then check all the
windows programs that load, and deactivate (or not load) those that
us the comm port.
For example; Internet dialers, Fax software, etc.


My Hb displays MEMMORY FAULT whenever I turn it on. SO I figured runneing
the hbdl.exe would help aleviate this situation. When I run it however, it
says it cannot open the port! Anyone know why? I have made certain that
the serail port is running as slow as possible.

Thanks for any help,
Shiva

(...) there is no builtin way of doing this. to get msgs back over the serial line, see the FAQ question at: (URL) Is it true that the handy board can only work when the LCD is plugged onto (...) you need a replacement pcode file to let the HB work (...)
