Some reader manufacturers also have their reader drivers pre-installed by microsoft - the Gemplus Gem PC range is one I know of.
As soon as you connect the reader it is grabbed by the PCSC service - which is why you kept getting the port closed message.
To get round this you need to let PCSC grab the reader and then go into ControlPanel/System/hardware/devices/ and set the device usage for the reader to disable. This means it is no longer grabbed by PCSC and free to use with the direct Comm version.

I also have GemXpresso 211 PK card, but I haven't used RAD III before.
My guess is that the RAD III uses PC/SC to talk to the card. How about you edit your opencard.properties to use the OCF-PCSC wrapper rather than using the Java comm. From my experience, PC/SC is install when you install the card reader's driver on Windows. If you have to use Java comm, then you probably have to remove the reader's driver and re-config RAD III somehow to use Java comm. However, I have no idea whether you can re-config RAD III to do that, you have to ask Gemplus.

I don't have PCSC resource manager running. In case I do, how would I shut it off?
What I don't understand, is that GemXpresso Rad3 works only with the drivers installed, and my programs only without the drivers.
Thanks

My guess is that you also have PCSC resource manager running that locks the port. Try running OCF using either OCF-PCSC wrapper or shutdown PCSC resource manager and see if that makes a different.
