I'm no great expert on this, but if you are running Windows XP you
should be able to change the com port number. Go to Control Panel>
System>Hardware>Device Manager>Ports. Expand Ports to show your
present Com5 port. Right-click on your Com5 port and click on
Properties. Click on Port Settings>Advanced. At the bottom of this
window you will see the port number as 5. Change it to whatever you
like, but try to avoid conflicts with other hardware such as your
modem, etc.
That should allow you to choose a port between 1 and 4. Sorry this is
so complex, but that's how Windows is.
