I have a DOS based program that I want to run in XP. Now the problem
is not that it wont start, or run in XP. It will, I have in fact seen
it. I formatted and installed 4 new computers with XP Pro. I
installed the DOS program onto the computer. On EVERY one of the
computers, when I open the program it gives me an error "system cannot
open com1 requested by the application" (some say com2, etc) My
current COM port is not 1, but when I try to change it to COM1 and
open the program, the program now says "system cannot open com2
requested by the application". Does anyone have any suggestions? I
cannot find any config file where it would be requesting any specific
COM port, but this might be a function or error with XP.
Thank you in advance,
Scott
