I have a new Toshiba with builtin BT running Win7Pro 64 bit.
The BT Gemini transceiver (thanks Brendan) is only showing up as one COM port rather than the two that XP saw.
It is listed as COM40. Not COM12o and COM13o like XP kept doing every time it got rebooted or the dongle removed and inserted. I might be able to get it to work more reliably now.
I did the regedit twostep with XP and it is wierd. The port number gets saved in the registry (the worst idea M$ ever had) with a trailing NULL character so framework must not treat it as a NULL terminated string.
I have a similar problem to Peter with a USB GPS receiver. There's no serial port for my other GPS and this one will only provide one virtual COM port at 115200 bps. Every bit of software I have wants no more than 38400. VSPE for 64 bit is not free like it is for 32 bit.
