WOW Doesn't Support More Than Four Serial Ports (110926)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q110926 SYMPTOMS
In the Windows (16-bit) on WIN32 (WOW) application environment, you cannot
replace the installed COM driver (which supports only COM ports COM1
through COM4) with one that supports more COM ports. This is possible in
Windows 3.1, so it seems it should also be possible with WOW, but it is not
possible at this time.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
