TOP - - Data Rate tab

[Guest aaa]

Hi,

 

A tech support (idiot) clown from Startech.com insists that Window XP SP2

Device Manager / Ports (COM & LPT) / PCI Serial Port Properties should have

a tab for "Data Rate" and an option to "Detect Clock Frequency" but I cannot

find either.

 

I have all currently available MS updates, hotfixes, patches, etc.

 

When I first loaded Windows XP SP2, I chose to use Classic windows over XP

windows and disabled Themes to ensure it. Would this choice eliminate the

Data Rate tab and its various options? If so, when I roll back to XP

windows, this tab does not appear.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you.
