I am unable to get the message editing software to run on my Windows Vista laptop. When I attempt to start the programme I get an error message:

"Run-timeerror 383
‘Text’ property is read only

       OK"

I seek advice about how to overcome this problem.

Either the PC has no COM-port, it is used by another device, it is not working properly or it is not called COM1 or COM2
Please check in the device manager.

Thank you for your reply.

The laptop has 4 USB ports but none are named as COM 1 or COM2 in device manager. I have to conclude that it will be unable to run the editing software.

You will have to rename them to either COM1 or COM2
