Instead of hitting the disable this port only for this logging session, I must have hit the disable this port permanently window because now when I open up the interfaces configuration window, no serial ports are available.

Hi Albert,

Clicking that button should not prevent you from going back to the
interface configuration window and reconfiguring your serial ports -
it just prevents attempts to access the ports until you do that.

If your serial ports are not available, it may be a problem at the
OS level. Right-click on "My Computer", select "Manage" and look
under "Device Manager" -> "Ports". Do they appear there?
