Just in case you missed the answer in this thread about 3 weeks ago

A common problem, but it's only because of the way msd reports the coms 
ports.

When msd looks for coms ports the first one it finds is *labelled* as 
Coms1,  the second as Com2 etc. irrespective of what *you* think they
should be called.

i.e. If you were only using Com4 it would be reported as Com1

You need to check the port address it reports.
                           ~~~~~~~
Com1 = 0x3f8
Com2 = 0x2f8
Com3 = 0x3e8
Com4 = 0x2e8

It has also been suggested that msd is reports more reliably if its used
from DOS and *not* in from a DOS box in Windows.
