I have 3 USB ports, one of which holds my mouse receiver. You can see from the screenshot that nothing shows up; there isn't even a category "Ports" displayed. However, exactly as predicted, when I plugged in the cable, "USB Serial Port (COM3)" displays. That's good to know, but I doubt I'll remember for the next 10 yrs until something like this occurs again.
When I got my Tech and then General licenses this spring, I didn't realize that I had to have some sort of certificate in Windows as well. Thanks, again, folks. I'll move on to make room for somebody who needs help with a *real* problem.
