Symptom:

Received an event viewer error message

Error message: "User configuration for parameter Serial 0 must have PortAddress"

Cause:

A bug in the control panel/ports applet

Solutions:

The problem has been reported to Microsoft. To remove these error messages, follow these steps: Start the Registry Editor by typing start regedt32 at a command prompt. Select the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine, System, CurrentControlSet, Services, Serial, Parameters. Typically, no keys should be listed beneath Parameters. Check the values of any keys listed to locate the conflicting serial port(s). Delete any conflicting keys under Parameters. Highlight the serial port key and press Delete. Repeat for each conflicting serial port configuration. Reboot the system and check the event viewer to verify that the error messages do not reoccur. The errors may reappear later if any operations are attempted in Control Panel, Ports. CAUTION: Any mistakes made in editing the registry may have disasterous results requiring you to boot to a different Control Set or to reload Windows NT.
