Are you a developer? Copy and Paste COMM.DRV into a
Google Search Bar, and see what you get in the way of
results.

SYSTEM.DRV, MOUSE.DRV, KEYBOARD.DRV, SOUND.DRV, and
VGA.DRV, but I managed(with the help of this forum) to re-
install those by recovering them from the
C:/Windows/system folder, but COMM.DRV is not in that
folder. I search my comp for the file and it's not found
in the search, so I don't know how to recover it to
system32, or more specifically, from where. I also
searched my Win XP installation CD, but I can't find the
file on there, which makes no sense. Someone please help
me.
