If the code you're using takes a "string" for the port to open, you probably need to do that, if the code you use to open the port only takes a number, then you probably don't have to worry about it.
I do suggest changing the port to a lower number in device manager as well -- this will keep you away from problems.
i've tried it on lower port numbers (numbers, 5 & 6). i've even tried to change the motherboard's serial ports COM number and it does the same thing.. if the device isnt on COM 1 it doesnt get turned on in RR, in mitch's program however it works fine on any port. I'm testing this using the 11/4 beta release you provided me guino.
