I've had no success in connecting to the COM interface since starting my trial. I've tried various fixes with no luck on either my Win 7 64 bit and XP 32 bit boxes. Asking for help is usually my last option when it comes to computers as I like to learn by trial and error, I'm sure I could work this out in a couple of months, but I'd rather use that time on more fruitful (hopefully) tasks. As this problem exists on both boxes, I'm assuming the problem lies on my end. W7 is connected via a router, whereas Xp isn’t, so I don't think it's a router issue.
Here's a part of my W7 BA_Diagnostic.txt I think might help
