Writelog will always show Com1, Com2, Com3, and Com4. The CommSlot3=5
command in the .ini file does not change this on the Writelog Setup Ports
screen. It merely instructs Writelog to use Com5 as though it were Com3.
Since the slot is still not working I suspect it is something in Vista. I'm
still running XP so can't offer any Vista help. Have you checked the Device
Manager (or whatever Vista calls it) to see how your Com5 and Com6 are
configured? Sorry I can't be more help.
