I am coming into this thread late, but does this computer have a modem on it? Usually internal modems are set to com4: in the MS world, but they can also show up as com's 1 through 3 depending on how the machine was originally configured. Another thing to look for is: Serial ports can be turned off in the bios, which is a mean little trick that some manufactures also like to do when shipping from the factory.
