file name should be like
COM1: COM2: COM2: etc..
the use of \\.\ is for non mapped devices if i remember?


The prefix '\\.\' must be used for portnumbers > 9, e.g. '\\.\COM10'

aren't you still forgetting something in the file name?
the ":" after the number..
COM10: for example is a mapped port. , it does work ,just try it.
