Hey

I have computer "Psion workabout pro" with windows ce 4.2.
This machine has no RS232 build but has 100 - pin connector
from was from 9 pins buid "RS232". I'm quite sure that hardware
connection is correct. Problem that system cann't see it, I try
change registry but any changes in key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\... disapear even after
warm reset. What can I do to see this RS port as COM1 (or other)
COM2, COM3, COM4 are reserverd to handle scanner, bluetooth
and USB - and work correct.

Best regards
axell

You'd never change the Active keys. That's the current state of the driver
and, even if you did change it, the driver doesn't continuously poll the
registry to see what settings you might have screwed around with. Change
the initial entries for the ports, which are visible in the .REG files that
you can see before the device runs, to change the port configuration. You
might, for example, change the value of the IoBase key in
HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/Serial2 to change where COM2 is located. You can do
this in your project.reg file, to avoid modifying common code...
