Help! Com1 port doesn't work

Question

After purchasing my Dell Dimension more than a year ago, I am trying to use COM1 for the first time. I purchased a SONY camcorder with PC functions and am trying to get the camcorder to 'talk' to my PC. I keep getting a message saying that the device is not connected, when using the software provided by Sony. How do I get COM1 or some other serial port to come to life? David

Do you have anything else attached to Com 1, like Palm Pilot? If so you have to close that first. New European Photos 1/13/2001 Visit my website here.
