I get an error message after an internet connection via a telephone line
(after closing the connection). The fax-program (Snappy Fax) says 'Com port in use'. After a restart of Vista the problem is gone. Is there perhaps someone with a solution ? Thanks, Gus |

After a restart of Vista the problem is gone. Try this: After you DISCONNECT an internet session (important distinction - CLOSING may NOT do a disconnect), try starting it again. If it dials and starts OK (no complaining about the COM port being open), then your FAX program is at fault - it's incorrectly reading the state of the COM port, likely due to it being incompatible with Vista. May be time for a new FAX program. Is there perhaps someone with a solution ? Thanks, Gus |
