i just installed xp professional and on my previous system
(me) my modem used com 4 but now you can only select 1 or
2 and neither register the hardware, how do i get come 4
to appear in the selecction?

on pinter port selection a whole list of ports are
displayed including four and i tried removing it to see if
it would then appear in the modem options but it said if i
removed it itt would be remove from the system so i didn't.

please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
