go to start->settings->control panel->ports and see if COM1 is available, if not
then use the the com port that is listed there, if there is nothing there then there
is something wrong.  Also make sure any background apps aren't using the com port.

this will at least tell you if the serial port is working at all.  if you don't
see the "Direct to COM1" setting available in HyperTerminal, then Windows
doesn't believe you have a serial port at all.  this might be a problem in the
System Registry or the CMOS configuration of the machine.

Hi,

I am here struggling to connect the handyboard with my computer. I am trying
download  pcode.hb.s19
In com1 port, but i am receiving a message that it can't open the port.

I think that the settings of my com1 port is wrong. They are:

Band rate = 9600
Data base = 8
Parity= none
Stop bits =1

Base  I/O port adress 3f8
Interrupted request line 15
X  Fifo Enable.
Or maybe the windows nt is not recognizing the hardware serial port but i don't
know how can i do to make it recognized

Please, if  anyone knows what is going on with my port, please send me a tip, i
will be grateful. The plataform is NT.

Thanks,
