Windows XP Hardware >> port setup Hi all

I am a new user to xp pro and have a small problem with setting up comm
ports
I do a manual comm port setup for my modem which works just fine under 98SE
then do a reboot as it suggests, when the system comes back up it dumps my
port configuration and then says new hardware found and sets up 2 comm 4's
and an extra LPT1. both comm ports then have the yellow exclamation mark.

Is there a way to force my port configuration and disable the autodection
phase, setting up the 2 bogus comm4's and the extra LPT1

other than that glitch the system is flyin

Thanks
Steve
