HELP! SERIAL PORT PROBLEMS

[SuperDJC72]

I just bought a Dex Drive (to read playstation memory cards) and i have also tried this with a barbie camera and it still dosent work. Heres the problem:<br>

<br>

My comm ports dont work with external devices in windows 98 (except the mouse)and i have also tried unpluging the mouse and rebooting with just the dex drive in com1 and then com2 and it still dosent work. I tried bugs fixes like the VMM32.VXD one but I still have had no luck. I even built a loop back plug and it worked fine. PLEASE HELP!

Try deleting communication ports from Device Manager in windows 95.<br>
<br>
Redetect new hardware if ports are not found on next boot.<br>
