I believe so, but then again I've never messed with serial port stuff 
before.  When I'm in the bios under Onboard Devices it says:

    Serial Port A:   3F8-3FF, IRQ 4
    Serial Port B:   2F8-2FF, IRQ 3

I don't see anywhere to enable or disable it.

I have with no success.  It doesn't recognize anything.  I then tested 
the serial port with my multi-meter to find that it is not powering the 
receiver.

I believe the Hauppauge system is proprietary and will only accept their 
remote -- I'm trying to use a different remote.   What parts are you 
talking about?
