Re: Help install moates burner *help computer geeks*
ok i just did this in xp and 2000 so i know this is correct.
right click your my computer icon, select properties, device manager.
click the plus sign next to the ports(com & LPT) then double click communications port ( mine shows up as com1)
ok this is where it gets retarded, if you do not see the port settings tab then you must not have full administrative privleges ( your probably a power user or some ----, lol.)
otherwise, click on port settings tab, then click advanced.
in the lower right hand corner there is a dropdown to change the port assignment.

Good luck.
