I have a kernel driver that must address the serial hardware directly
outside of the framework of the Windows 2000/Windows NT serial communication
architecture. To work with COM1/COM2 which is controlled by the Windows
serial communication driver by default, I must go the device manager and
disable the serial port I want to use. The problem on the newer machines is
that disabling a serial port is equivalent to making it disappear. As such
my kernel driver believes that COMx does not exist. Does anyone know how to
reenable the port?
Thanks,
Egberto
