If you know the port is not in use, ignore the message that tells you that it is in use, when you change the port number. You can also search the Windows registry for the "COM Port Arbitrator". It is a 256 binary bit map of the assigned, and the next to be assigned, COM port. That is where you reset the ever incrementing COM port number. If you are using a USB converter and want it to stay put, do the following. This should work for non-FTDI devices, that have serial numbers, just match the VID/PID. >From FTDI Support: =========== Hello, What you will need to do is uninstall the driver for the FTDI device. Now you will need to create a binary value in the registry by doing the following: Go to START and select RUN Type regedit in the filed and select ok to get into the registry Add a REG_BINARY value called IgnoreHWSerNum to the registry and setting it to 01. This value is held in the registry key located at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\UsbFlags\IgnoreHWSerNum (Device VID, PID and interface} For a default FTDI device ID (VID 0x0403, PID 0x6001), add the following registry REG_BINARY value set to 01: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\UsbFlags\IgnoreHWSerNum0 4036001 Now install the driver again. After this the com port should not increment. Regards James Leary Support Engineer FTDI Ltd =========== If those don't help I can tell you the other darker places of the registry to examine and poke at. I had to make one of my programs "Idiot Proof". Customers kept calling me up and asking me "What COM port do I have?". I always wanted to respond "How #$)*#)$ should I know? It is your computer." [It happened a lot, this group of customers were not Computer People.]. Instead I wrote my programs to always find the correct COM port for the customer. I need to turn that into a DLL so other people can use it.

Just rebooting should not be the killer, but power-cycling may be. Grounding of equipment may also be an issue, as you connect things around. Cheers, Magnus

At both towns, the Dinosaur Barbecue is to die for. Dennis Bruckel, born and raised in the area, and former Field Editor Waterway Guide. Cell phone 407 414 0531 e-mail: dbruckel@embarqmail.com Website: debruckel.com

Even if that were not the case I think that in all but exceptional circumstances it is better to let nature take its course however sad that may seem (note that it is normal for most young birds to die in their first year). That said I'm probably just a cold hearted cynic (ok, the " probably" is misleading).

Sine Die adjournment has to be by May 28, 2021, so the Bill would have to be passed (if at all) before the June 3 deadline, but Governor Stitt would still have to sign it. So that's another thing to keep an eye on. Matt

Venezuela is the cheapest and also top notch. For example a total know replacement here including pre, & post with therapy is $7500. Prescription medicines are 10% of US costs. So we don't really worry about not having medical insurance at the present. We give Swan Song a budget of $1000/month for every thing...fuel included.
