The 3Com Bluetooth adapter is not very good, and has limited support for
PocketPC devices. ActiveSync only supports com 1 to 9 So your 3Com adapter
needs to be in the range of 1 to 9.
What you need to do is go into control panel and uninstall the adapter, this
will free the ports it is now using. Then you'll need to go into device
manager and uninstall the Devices using Com ports 5 to 9. Just how you do
that depends on the version of windows you are using. You may want to check
the geekzone for more detailed info on this, in the Bluetooth guides.
