Serial Port not found

I was having no problems with programming until the other day. When I plug in my robot it has the correct USB cord shown and says “Ready” as if it recognizes it so I click on the ready COM and press apply and okay but whenever I go to actually put the program in the robot it says “serial port not found or already in use” any ideas?

I also used to have these

I also used to have these problems. Try plugging it into another USB port. It worked for me. You could also try restarting the entire program or the computer.

First question

Are you using a USB cable to connect to your PICAXE?
