I'm using a desktop that has 1 serial port on the MB.  I needed an additional serial port so I put in a card with 2 ports.  That worked fine UNTIL I moved the card so that I could put in a wireless card.  Now when I look in the device manager it thinks the additional COM ports are COM5 and COM6.  The software I'm using on the serial ports only recognizes COM1 thru 4.  How can I redefine COM 5 & 6 to 3 &4?
