If you've ever restarted your computer with Bluetooth ActiveSync set up, you should be familiar with the error. ActiveSync will say, "Microsoft ActiveSync cannot open the COM port" or you might receive a message asking whether you want to disconnect the serial ports. At first I thought that my Bluetooth stack wasn't loading quickly enough for ActiveSync to catch the correct serial port, but after disabling ActiveSync from starting up automatically, I found that this wasn't the case."<br /><br /><br />Here is a handy little registry hack for a problem I have seen from time to time. There is of course another solution to this Bluetooth problem as with others. Wait a while and it will just go away by itself. :lol:
