OK, I've been running HS for a few years now without any problems. The machine I have it on runs my web server/Foxweb server and HS. It's W2KServer. I've also had HS on W2K.
A year or so ago I installed XP SP2. Had a problem getting it to recognize some of my USB devices so left it dual boot and used W2KServer.
Today, I screwed up Foxweb. Bad. It got terminally confused. I decided that the easiest solution was to use the XP boot. Well, that solved my Foxweb problem, but...
HS will not recognize any com ports at all. I'm using USB-Ser adapters. Plugged into a hub. When I unplug them, Device Manager sees them go away and plug back in, the reappear.
Com 4 ZTroller
Com 5 DSC
Com 6 Ocelot
Com 7 RFID
Although they seem to be there, HS tells me it can't open the port. Ocelot times out trying to get info. Installed .net 3 and it didn't help. Neither did a reinstall.
Even going back to W2KServer had problems. It recognized my ports but informed me all my plugins couldn't be opened. Arrrgh
So now I'm sitting in the dark but at least have my web server. What can I do here?
