>From the registry? What about in Windows XP? The serial object that is fairly new in XP (part of SP2 I believe) has a method you can call to get a list of ports. Does this object & method simply do the same RegKey lookup that the K3 Utility is doing? I'm thinking the registry is on it's way out but I suppose for backward compatibility reasons, you'd need to stick with it for a while, ea?

See HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM When a serial port device driver installs a COM device, it's supposed to make this registry entry. That's what we're looking for.

I have a USB to RS-232 converter on it shows in my system menu as COM4 but it will not appear in the selection menu of the K3 Utility. Only COM1, COM2, COM5, and COM6 appear on the K3 Utility PullDown Menu and they are used for other applications. I know COM4 works as I use it with WriteLog and that application will communicate with the K3 without problems. I have the K3 RS-232 set to 9600... Any suggestions ? My K3 s/n 1299.
