Could not open port COM8: [Error 5] Access is denied.

Hello everyone!

I've been working on my Reprap then all of a sudden (was not playing with firmware etc)... I can no longer connect to my reprap (tried on several PCs).

OS: Win7 (also tried on VM Ubuntu 10.10)

Electronics: Sanguinololu 1.3a
Firmware: Marlin

I've loaded the firmware back onto the SLL a couple of times but still cannot connect.

The copy of the log is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pronterface.py", line 1566, in connect
File "printcore.pyc", line 76, in connect
File "serial\serialwin32.pyc", line 30, in __init__
File "serial\serialutil.pyc", line 260, in __init__
File "serial\serialwin32.pyc", line 56, in open
serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port COM8: [Error 5] Access is denied.

Apparently this has happened to a couple of people and can be fixed... I just don't know how!

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Iain
