Here's hoping somebody has experienced the following issue and can provide an answer I'm using the Nokia CA-42 cable powered with 2 AA batteries approach with the repair of my Seagate. The cable is recognized by the computer. However, once I enter the Hyperterminal settings, hit apply and OK the following error message comes up: "Another program is using the Telephony device. Try again after the other program completes." I have tried unplugging my Comcast ethernet internet USB connection and disabled all connection ports within the Network Connections control panel and disconnected/disabled my printer (with Fax capability). Along with this I've disabled most of the USB Root Hub listings within the device manager as well as network adapters listed therein. All to no avail. I am at a total loss as to which program is apparently overriding the Nokia cable, preventing successful entry of the settings. Any suggestions and/or workarounds shall be gratefully received.
