    I hope you forgive me for being a bit flippant but your reply to my post was a little silly.

    I resolved the issue anyways.

     

    I used a serial port program that closed the program using the port, then when I opened the program that needed that port,it "captured " it and now the program runs fine.

    What is your problem? i think that you should have a check which hardware device contacts com port 3 on the box. Do you run some Virtual COM Port software on the computer?

    Obviously, it is a third-party software program issue instead of Windows vista OS. Therefore, you should directly contact the program vender directly if you meet the same problem in the future. Thanks for your time and understanding!
