Help with COM PORTS in N2

My brother had a similar problem, and we about pulled our hair out over it.
We had to go into his bios and change a setting to get it fixed. I warn you
though, do this at your own risk. DO NOT change any settings you are not
familiar with. I would also recommend either printing out your bios settings
or writing them down before you do anything, to have should you need them.
I'm going from memory here, and it has been a long time. Go into your bios,
and see if is shows a com2 or serial port 2 that shows as either "enabled,
or disabled". If I recall, it showed as enabled in my brothers pc. We
changed that setting to disabled, saved changes, and exited. After that, N2
showed him com2 also as a choice.
Hope this helps,
