I hope this is not the case but if it is, this is really bad. My PC is actually a MacBook Pro with VMWARE Fusion on it with Win 7 as virtual OS. One of the things with the virtual OS is that only certain ports are available and Com1 appears to be the only port addressable. The only way I will know that is to take my old WIN XP laptop and try it.
