Re: Problems installing Xpl

["Frank Mc Alinden" <fmcalind@xxxxxxx>]

John
I have had the same problem not being able to select the com port...
I think the fix was removing all  copies of xpl.ocx file and downoading the
latest version of tonys devcom.....

BTW..........Congratulations on getting native xpl support on the slim
devices ......
