Showing Com Ports and Bluetooth Problems

How can I view the current com ports on Vista? I am trying to restore my
bluethooth connection to a LifeDrive PDA. It was working but now it says
that another application is using that com port, so I go and create another
and then it says that the com port is being used in another application and
it will open the port when it is free. I've added up to a com 9 but none of
them work.

Help me o wise ones.
