That's supposed to be COM port 3 i believe .
Cause that's what i'm using. Check in Device Manager whether COM3 exists and try using that. Hope this helps.

COMM ports are serial ports (RSS.... cant remeber), usually a new computer has 1 (sometimes none), becasue there are less and less serial devices these days, but a old computer may have 2 becuase they were more common back then. But, some devices, ie. IrDa USB devices and
USB devices assign themselves COMM ports (virtual)... thats what your sync station's doing!
eg. I have no Real COMM ports but Virtual Serial Port 7 on my laptop becuase I needed to assign my Infrared port a COMM port!
There!

click on COM3 which has the yellow exclamation mark and find out what error it is. Maybe you have a bad USB port/cable. You can try installing a driver for it by clicking on the driver tap and choose "update driver" , and point it to the driver CD.
There is no reason why it wouldn't work on XP.
