Yes it can. If there is a problem with the regestry Windows will pull the
back up . However this is normally done at boot up, not while the system is
running. If there is a problem you will get an error and the system will
halt (if it is bad enough). Then upon reboot it will pull the backup.
. Unless there was some kind of crash that erased that modified setting.
Very unusual but quite possible. It could also be when you deleted the
serial port driver and when windows pulled the copy from the driver database
it reverted that setting to 38k the first time you started NBU after the
deletion.
Glad you got it working. And you are quite welcome. BTW-my next suggestion
was going to be trying a slower speed, but it seems you beat me to it. :)
