COM ports

Anyone knows why I can't see COM1: and COM2: on my HP Vectra VL800 with Windows 2000 Professional SP3 installed?

Re: COM ports

The problem was in BIOS:

1. PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0, BIOS version SIQ.01.11

2. Plug'n'Play OS option = YES

3. Integrated I/O Ports (Parallel, Serial A, Serial B) = Auto

4. Security >Hardware Protection / Integrated Data Communication Ports (Parallel, Serial A, Serial B) = Locked

5. Obvious solution: unlock Serial A

Thank you all for pointing out that the problem was in BIOS.
