No. What, exactly, do you mean by "reset"? That means different things to different people. A driver can submit a request to "cycle" the port, which is similar to an unplug/replug, but the request has to come from the driver. If you have a custom driver, you could offer an ioctl to perform that function. -- Tim Roberts, timr(a)probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.

Tim, Thanks for your prompt response. The idea is to reset the port (meaning unplug/replug) but.. the 3rd party driver seems to be the problem because I have to do that so.. is there some way to reset the port from WMI o some other windows API ?
