Can anyone help me, I just purchased a labtop computer with no serial port connection. I also purchased a docking station that will convert one USB port to a serial port connection, the problem that I am having is that the docking station only gives you com4 and I beleive that the pronto edit needs a com1 or com2. Is there any way to change the settings on the pronto edit so that it looks for com4. I would greatly apprceiate any help or support.

I have had the same problems. Solution: Buy a new computer with serial port.

I use the IOGEAR GUC232A USB to DB9 serial adapter. I haven't used it for ProntEdit yet, but it works great for Meridian, Crestron, and Hyperterminal PC to PC transfers.

This piece will let you assign it to any COM port. I notice that sometimes, with Windows applications, it will hang and needs to be reset, but I haven't been not able to do anything that I could do with my other computer.

I first tried the BAFO adapter and that didn't work for me at all.

just go into your computers setup and take your com1 off automatic settings change the i\o range to anything else( usually what com 4 was), then change your input/output range for the com 4 device to 03f8-03ff .i had to do this when i blew out my laptops serial port and had to use a usb to serial adapter. works perfectly with crestron, pronto ect.
