G'Day,

I have been dealing with this error on and off for the last year or so. There is nothing wrong with LOGic. LOGic just happens to be the tool that exposes the incorrect/bad/inconsistent structures in the Windows registry.

It is caused by the Windows registry data structures for the RS232 ports on your PC being in an inconsistent state. That can happen as you plug/unplug USB based RS232 ports into different sockets on your PC or USB hubs, or Bluetooth devices that have an RS232 port, or by the creation/deletion of virtual ports created by software - in my case, RemoteRig devices from Microbit, combined with "real" USB ports from FTDI, and virtual ports created with Eltima software.

The cure for me has been to open the Windows Device Manager and clean out all the RS232 ports - one at a time. Uninstalling and removing them - including the hidden ones that are currently not plugged in. See here and here for help.

Then, one at a time, plug in the RS232 devices, making sure they all have separate ports, without port duplications.

I hope the solution works for you.

You can help by posting images of any errors and including your Logic version.

For bangs I looked at my hidden devices in device manager. USB=>RS232 showed a few COM ports I had set up in the past but no longer do -- about what expected. But under Human Interface Devices, Keybards, and Mice, I probably have over 100 unused devices!

Windows is notorious for 'Ghosted' devices. To view in the device manager,
click on View -> Show hidden devices. While you can clean things out by
hand, there's a neat little utility on Codeplex called Ghostbuster that
will do the job: http://ghostbuster.codeplex.com/.

thanks for the helpful tip/hint. in addition to removing all com ports by using device manager, i had to remove all virtual ports created by com0com. now that LOGIC is working i will add all my other usb/serial crap one device at a time.

thanks
