Ive got a problem with the COM4 port. I haven't even got one!
Ive got my mouse on COM1 and my modem on COM2 but when I originally 
boot up Win95 it tells me Ive got COM1 and COM4. When I go in to 
system/device manager and look at the port its got the same Interrupt 
as the COM1 drive. If I got in to the properties/port 
settings/resources it tells me Ive got a conflict with COM1 and then 
automatically sets it correctly and hay presto COM4 disappears and COM2 
appears like a cheeky schoolkid and everythings OK until I reboot....

Anybody got any ideas or am I doomed to change it manually for the rest 
of my life...all this worked OK in 3.11
