Hello Simon & List, Reconfiguring your COM ports certainly would do the trick. Alternatively, you can go to our website and download the Geographic Tracker version 3.2-MapInfo edition, which has support for COM ports 1-12. This was released last summer and is a free upgrade for MapInfo Professional users. Here's a link to the download page: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/products/geotracker.php?op=download&file=155 If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

That should do the trick. (I originally was looking for Port settings under Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and wondering why I couldn't change any of the settings.)
