The com-port has not been working since I used the windows DEBUG-mode.

60 views and no answer, you seem to be unable to answer the simple question above.

It has only been 28 hours since your first (second third and forth) question. Or maybe everyone thought you WERE the answer?

It has been years since I ran palm on my computer, but I thought I remember it reserving the com port? Also, have you thought about asking the programmer manufacturer what the com port settings should be?

You are probably one of the very few with this kind of programmer, hence the lack of help. (Well, that and the attitude).

Another answer: Buy a USB programmer.

Nice. I am the answer to a different question, though. 28 hours is too long for an answer. Have an eye on different boards.

It has been years since I ran palm on my computer, but I thought I remember it reserving the com port?

Yes. I figured that and exited the hotsync application. This solved the issue previously but it did not now.

Also, have you thought about asking the programmer manufacturer what the com port settings should be?

Yes. He said that they don't matter as the hardware has a direct access to the com-port, there is no api being used.

You are probably one of the very few with this kind of programmer, hence the lack of help.

It is mainly about the com port, not the programmer. What you should take out of that is: It is using the com-port and it cannot communicate any more after having used windows debug mode.

So knowing about the debug mode and the com-port's hardware(which is why it is under Data Communications -> Serial) is all that should be necessary to answer the question.

Well, that and the attitude

I cannot help you with your attitude issue, there is no use in repeating your issue, I am afraid.

Buy a USB programmer.

This is the last option.

Patience is a virtue ... that many people seem to lack.

Very much true.

I bought a new com-port and now it is working flawlessly.
