Default Radio Shack driver

Brian, I am having the exact same problem, and like you stated, my modem was using COM3, so I changed it to COM6---just like you. when I go to my Device Mgr, the USB-Serial Controller shows, but there is no way to change it to COM3. General, Driver, and Details tabs are all that show. Help someone?

Default Same Problem

I got that far also. I have the HP m8120m also. I can't find where to change the com port for the RS cable. It is listed under other devices.
