<h1>Can't open port; in use</h1>

<p class="PlainText">If you see this message, there is likely to be some other software that has used that port previously, and is now interfering.</p>

<h2>Serial Terminal Software</h2>

<li class="Checklist" value="1">If you are using other terminal software to communicate with your BASIC Stamp, such as StampPlot, Parallax Serial Terminal, or Hyperterminal, it may be holding the port open. Disconnect the port in the terminal software.</li>

</ul>

<h2>Devices with Automatic Synchronization Software</h2>
|
|
<p class="PlainText">If you have used a device such as a PDA with this computer, the device's software (such as Weatherbug or HotSync software) may be holding the port open. </p>

<ul>
|
|
<li class="Checklist" value="1">Check your computer's system tray to see if the device's software is enabled, and disable it temporarily.</li>
|
|
<li class="Checklist" value="2">If disabling the software in the above step did not release the COM port, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the COM port (sounds scary but it isn't really). </li>
