When I try to run WinVerter™, I get an error message “Port already open”, but there is nothing plugged into the RS-232 com port. What is the problem?
The message indicates that some other software is using the com port. Palm and handheld PC synchronization software, once installed, typically runs in the background at all times and is holding on the com port to see when the palm or handheld PC is docked. Such software hogs the com port and does not permit other software, such as WinVerter™ from using it. You should either try to use a different com port (if your PC has one), or terminate the conflicting software. Synchronization software usually shows up on the Windows task bar as an icon. If you right click the synchronization icon you will usually see a menu that allows you to terminate, close or exit the software. This should free up the com port for use by WinVerter™. However, you will need to shut down WinVerter™ and re-start the synchronization software if you plan to re-synchronize your palm or handheld PC. We recommend that you use our SWCA Surge Protector on your serial com signals if you extend the standard cable or if you
