recognizing my serial port

hello...
i am using a little packaged via epia machine that has one serial port (COM1), and am having troubles using proce55ing with my serial port to connect to some lighting devices.
i am getting a "serial port not working" error, with nullPointer from serialWrite(); with the following stripped down code:
byte[] data = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' };
void setup() {
beginSerial(115200);
}
void loop() {
// Write the sequence stored in
// the array data to the serial port
serialWrite(data);
}
under the 'sketch' menu in the processing gui, i cannot select 'serial port'.
i have, however, connected to my serial port using the 'hyperterminal' windows utility, and have used it with other software.....
is there something i need to do to get proce55ing to recognize my serial port?
thanks,
p
