Webuser Forums: Downloading photos from samsung mob 2 PC?how!?

Hello folks!

Ok I have a Samsung E800 with stacks of photos saved and I want to upgrade the mobile but need to get the pics to PC before I lose them.
I have a data connect cable.
I've logged on to the Samsung website and read some posts there on the subject and have followed what people have said about it all and posted my plights there as well...and have ground to a halt and still not been able to do this task!
I have downloaded from the Samsung site their software called PIMS - a file management system.... where you "simply" click on file, setup and enter your COM port, connect your phone up to the data cable and Bob is your Dad's brother.... except it hasn't worked at all... After MUCH faffing I have discovered that the PIMS is set to COM1 and cannot be changed and my PC (on XP) under "my computer" and "hardware" I have found that my port is set at "COM3"..now I know not a lot about compies (I know, I know had you all fooled huh? not!) but I reckon the PC cannot read my phone? So.... a) how do I change the PC to COM1 b) will this cause any cock ups to anything I have on the PC and c) even if I make that change will I be able to download these blasted photos!!

Exhausted Samsung user...!
