I think not, My Host is an Notebook with Dockinstation an I'm using a Com2USB adapter. My Notebook has 4 USB Ports and dhe Dockingstation has 6. So that more then 10 for a COM Port is more than possible. Have a nice day with this ;) JPM

This is not a bug and can be closed. Windows provides legacy names only for COM ports 1 through to 9.

For all other COM ports you must use the full device naming convention under windows. i.e.:

\\.\COM10
