This is about win95 but it says:
"Hardware HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE
A little deceptive, the Hardware key only holds information for the
HyperTerminal program, relative to the math co-processor and the serial
ports. It appears that it would hold much more and be a major key, but all
of the settings and specifics are in the Enum key. "

The full site is also about win95, but
http://docs.rinet.ru:8083/Registratura/htm/apb.htm is pretty interesting
and seems to confirm what I had read.

It still might be worth deleting and rebuilding for the sake of the name of
the processor and the com ports. Although the names of comports is pretty
standard. For example, COM4 was called "COM4"!

I would also, of course, look at the individual keys and values that are in
your particular registry.
