does your laptop have a proper com port, or are you using a usb / 232 interface?

no it has a propper com port m8 i had this same prob when i first put xncs on my desktop but cant remember how i got round it

Have a go at putting that adapter back to com3 in the device manager and then changing XNCS to match.

You know that the adapter was working on com3 previously so if XNCS still has a com error after the change I would suspect a missing software file e.t.c.

You could also try a fresh reinstall of XNCS.

I had to do this when XNCS would always return a "no atr" message everytime I tried to connect to a rom card and it fixed the prob.

Nice one mate.

The only problem will be when you use software that does not allow high numbered com ports but thats a different story.

Out of curiousity, did you find out why you could not assisgn the adapter to com1? Possibly a conflict with another device like a bluetooth card?

Also, have you noticed that when you glitch with these adapters it takes about 50% longer?

It did with mine anyway. That's why I took the advice of TBC and stuck with a dedicated com port for more stable results.
