Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my desktop board Intel D525MW COM port. I was previously running windows 7 with devices on my COM1. Recently, I installed Windows 8 on an Intel SSD. After booting from Windows 8, COM1 on the motherboard was not recognized by any software, even though it was appearing in device manager. I tried booting from Windows 7, and the COM1 was working fine. Is there anything I can do to get Windows 8 to talk to the motherboard properly?
