The error: Unable to create the symbolic link for \Device\Serial0

The OS: Windows XP

Symptoms: Usually followed by a computer reboot, and a minidump file.

The fix: In my case was to uninstall all serial ports from device manager and let device manager reinstall after scanning for hardware changes.
