Hi... major problems with some of my clients. Using Dell Inspiron Series... No COM ports listed under device manager... looked under safe mode and LKGC .. no go... Tried viewing hidden devices and devices by connection... still not able to view the com ports... not even 1 of them... tried to attach a mouse to the laptop but it is asking a port to be assigned to it... other than adding a new COM port ... is there any other way of solving it ?
