Guest Gene Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Am using a Dell PC with Windowns XP & SP 2. How do I go about finding the number of COM PORTS on my PC ? and which ones are in use ? and which are not in use ? Gene B
Guest R. McCarty Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Re: Number of COM PORTS installed and which are in use ? Control Panel, ( Classic View ) System, Hardware (Tab), Device Manager (Button). Expand the Ports category. If it's a recent ( <2Yrs) PC it likely only has a single physical Serial or COM port. There is a difference between physical Serial ports and multiplexed ones.

Portmon for Windows http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/portmon.mspx Haven't used it but it may be what you are looking for.
