- TITLE :WOW Doesn't Support More Than Four Serial Ports
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- In the Windows (16-bit) on WIN32 (WOW) application environment, you cannot
- replace the installed COM driver (which supports only COM ports COM1
- through COM4) with one that supports more COM ports. This is possible in
- Windows 3.1, so it seems it should also be possible with WOW, but it is not
- possible at this time.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
- Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
- new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
- available.
