  |  HELP: 56K Modem not installing right I just installed a new ABIT nf7-s and the 56k modem won't install properly. Actually it tries to install on com-ports 3-10 plug and play puts it on all 8 ports. I try to delete them, but they just keep installing back, none of which work to get on-line. lost without access Zenz... |

| I'm not really sure what to suggest ... the last time I had modem install problems, I deleted every scrap related to the modem & rebooted a couple of times until the "new hardware found" whizzard appeared... then used the generic 56k driver.

  | It was the biggest pain in the ass for me to instal my modem in a customers rig, had to upgrade from 95 to XP for anything to work. But then just used generic driver and it was all good. Zennz, are you on Dial-up?

| Ok once you remove all the drivers and everything reboot with-out the card. Then install it in a different PCI slot then the one it was in and bam! that should work.

| I've always done similar to Red's suggestion with good results. Remove the modem in "Device Manager" as well.

Zenz - what kind of modem? Probably a USR.... They don;t play nice with XP. I had a brand new USR in here Friday...worked fine in a 2000 box, but in an XP box the MF'er would pick up, but not dial. Took it back to the store and traded it for an Aopen model...5 bucks cheaper - first connection got 52mbps

| Ya ive had problems with USR the one i had brand new wouldnt let go of the line. When i would tell it to disconnect it would stop the connection, but tie up the phone line. So i got some cheapo one i found in my boneyard that worked just as great. That was now 1 year ago, now on DSL and havent looked back
