I use WIDCOMM Bluetooth software 3.0.1.906 and when I setup Bluetooth serial port it shows as COM12. Now I need to set the same port in ActiveSync but cannot. It only shows COM1-3 and Infrared Port. Supposedly ActiveSync supports only COM1-9.

I displayed the ports via device manager and it shows COM1,COM2,COM12,LPT1.
I used the 'show hidden devices' option and no additional ports were shown. So now I am at a loss. Why does Widcomm start from 12 - does it always start from 12 or does it really think the other ports on my pc are in use? Where does it go to check that - even the device manager does not know the ports are in use - the registry? There must be some way in Win2K of deleting the com ports 3-11. I just have no idea where this stuff is stored. Help!!!!
