connection failed

i keep getting the error "14:48:15.669 : Access to the port 'COM5' is denied." . I've checked that it's the right port and that the drivers are updated but i still keep getting the error. i am using the Velleman k8200

Access denied means some other software is using that port already.
Did you install repetier-server as well and configure your printer there? Then it will be the server that owns the port and you should use the Repetier-Server Connector instead of Serial Connector in host.

no only repetier host. ill try to see what programs are using the port.

I asked because host installer also installs the server if you do not deselect it. Connect browser to
localhost:3344
and you see if it runs and if it connects to printer or not.
