Sorry, title should read: event: 4 source: serial - unable to create the symbolic link for \device\serial0.
Hi everyone, it's jubbly to be here. I hope you can help me!
I have upgraded a laptop from ME to XP Home. All devices are installed OK and no problems reported in Device Manager.
When I attempt to connect to the internet using a dial up connection XP reports that the modem is either currently in use or is not configured correctly. Also, when I try to query the modem I get a similar message.
I uninstalled the modem and reinstalled - no fix. Changed cable, wall-socket etc.
I have checked installed programs for Palm/synchronisation software. I have disabled IrDA in DM. I have reinstalled COM1, I've tried using COM3 - no good.
"unable to create the symbolic link for device\serial0." is the only warning event of any significance. Event:4 Source:serial
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Al
