I'd go into WINDOWS device manager.
start; right mouse click on my computer; that will get you to where
you can click on "manage"; then device manager... then "ports"
You will then see all the com ports....
one of them might be a modem ,
but one will suggest a USB connection like prolific USB.....
That is the one you want.
Also your COM4 might be in use... because the usb is hooked to it .,..
I would try it anyway,,,, that is where my usb dongle appears..
