Help! Ports (COM & LPT) missing in my Device Manager. It goes straight
from PCMCIA to Processors. No Ports. Can someone please tell me how to
get Ports to show up?

Are they (Ports) enabled in the PC's BIOS setup ?

To see 100% of Device Manager's table it may be necessary to add
a System Environment Variable:
DevMgr_Show_NonPresent_Devices
and set it's value = 1
Then from within Device Manager, Click the View option and tic/check
the "Show Hidden Devices"
