After 8.1 windows update my com port changed from 5 to 3, but it connected. Today I decided to try processed video on my new pc. I charged the camera, plugged in the wireless camera dongle, but could not connect to EZB. After removing the cam dongle, I was able to connect. I installed the cam dongle and had processed for a short time (something I could never achieve on my Vista machine.) My Bluetooth speech unit started to act up. I shut down the PC, removed the cam dongle, but could no longer connect to my robot or speech unit. Available com ports showed 3 twice and 4 twice? I tried uninstalling both EZB and Speech Bluetooth units and reinstalling. Also repairing. Also tried a restore of yesterdays windows update (not 8.1) My current port list shows 3 and 4, not double, but no connection.

I am able to connect on my old Vista machine.
I was able to connect to easy robot and my Bluetooth speech unit this morning. Last night I shut down the PC completely without the Bluetooth dongle in place. This morning the PC showed comport three and comport 4 only listed once each. I removed easy robot from the Bluetooth list and my Bluetooth speech unit also. I reinstalled them pairing them again then I was able to connect to EZ robot after the third attempt. I am a little hesitant to install my wireless camera dongle again because that is what started all the trouble yesterday With my comports. The Wi-Fi connection on EZB4 be a big improvement. Steve S
