Not really, except to reassure you that you're not going mad, and you're not
the only person that has come across it :-) I've seen it on many machines,
including my own, where at the moment, (just looking) it lists two COM1's
and two COM2's. Aarrgghhh :) As far as I can see it doesnt do any harm, but
hmm.....

Regards,
Simon
