Restoring "Communications Port (COM2)"
Using "settings/control panel/system/device manager" I can list the "Port (COM & LPT)" devices. Prior to attempting to install a modem, I had a Communications Port (COM1), Communications Port (COM2) and a Parallel Port (LPT1). I mistakenly removed the Communications Port (COM2). How do I restore this entry under the "Port (COM & LPT)" devices?

When rebooting or doing Add New Hardware, the auto detection process does not find a new Comunications Port (COM2). So when I try to configure my modem, it only displays the COM1 and LPT1.

After several removes under the COM ports devices, I was able to get my COM ports auto-detected. Thanks
just one question, doesn't the computer autodetect on reboot?
