The issue, I think, is more to do with the way netframework gets the port values from the relevant BT software.

I have seen this issue on WINXP 32bit, WIN7 32Bit and Win 64Bit....yet I am running ok with a WINXP ACER netbook (don't laugh..I purchased an ACER) with mfgr BT software and fixed the issue on a WINXP lappy by installing Toshiba BT stack software.

Many of the lappy mfgers offer their own BT software that is different from the plain vanilla MS stuff.

The issue could be to do with hardware....but I don't think so ATM as this has been around since 2006!

The easiest fix is to install 3rd party BT software such as Blusoleil or Toshiba BT stack.

edit:
I spoke to Paul and Tom of the Gemini ASCOM forum on this previously and they suggest the easiest fix was to install a different BT software...aka as above.
