Am I understanding this correctly? I have to reload each of the plugins that I have, a restore will not do this?

Screenshots show it as COM3 .... change to COM3 in the Insteon plugin and restart.

Just realized, I'm probably posting in the wrong forum. This stuff needs to go to Sir Mark of Insteon.

[sigh] OK, here we go...
Here's a couple of properties screens for the COM3...
Looks like the FTDI driver is already resident, which would explain why the FTDI setup program tells me it won't run, because the driver I have already is better.
So what am I supposed to match these settings to?

With the Insteon, it's on the Plug-Ins -> Insteon -> Configure page.

Not an Insteon user, but do have Vista by same author. There, the COM port assignment is on the Manage Plugins page.

Ah, would that it were that easy. My friend, apparently you are unfamiliar with my domicile, The Nightmare On Alpine Heights. Why, just today, I've had a printer reconfigure itself to use a public domain IP address (and work!), a taskbar moved itself to the other side of the screen...but I digress...
I get no errors in startup, but on the plug-in manager, the Insteon plug-in is still saying "WARNING: Please check the interface and enter the interface port information and restart HS." (In a lovely shade of amber, no less). And yes, I did change the port number in the insteon.ini file and on the insteon management page. Is there somewhere I'm missing?

OK, so now change your plugin to point to COM3 and all should be good with the world!
