    First thanks.
    David, unfortunately I applied this method but the result at home did not bring anything. After some time I have all my COM port just like pictures.
    I don't know what I do now ?

    You can try try using a program Tim recommends called Com Name Arbiter Setter 

    http://www.uwe-sieber.de/misc_tools_e.html#arbiter 

    This will allow you to clear com ports that are incorrectly set to reserved in the Windows Registry.

    There is a MUCH easier way.  Open SmartSDR CAT, right click on the Remove button and select the option "Reset FlexVSP ports".

    Thanks, right click on Remove works but is non-obvious to find. Could you add 'Right-click for removal options' to the hint text for the button ?

    It's obvious if you read the CAT documentation ;-)

    We'll take your suggestion under consideration.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
