I need to have the COM2 enabled so that I can transfer a digital photo from my digital camera to my PC. My operating system is WIN98 and my camera is a Poloroid PDC 640.

1st place you want to check is your BIOS, make sure it's not disabled. Second, check the Device Manager in Control Panel, under System, to make sure there are no conflicting devices. Third, under control panel, "ports" should be listed. This is where you would add a Com port, such as Com 2.
