Windows ME Modems
Hi all
I have a WinME system that when I add ANY modem it is not listed in the available modems list. I have installed a SiteCom D015 Softmodem which is seen on Com3 and I can run diags on it and communicate with it using Hyperterminal. However, as it does not appear on the installed modem list I can not create a new dial up networking entry. I have reinstalled multiple times and tried adding a Standard 56k V90 modem as well. Nothing seems to work, does anyone have any ideas? Please contact me at many thanks! |

Windows ME Modems
Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager Remove ALL Modem devices Reboot to Normal Mode - windows should reinstall the correct drivers If that doesn't work, change the slot that your modem is plugged into, and repeat the above - see if that helps -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "shadows_inthe_darkness2000" wrote in message ...

Windows ME Modems
Perhaps this will help:
Com Port configuration http://www.easysync.co.uk/COMPortGuide.htm -- Jack E. Martinelli 2002-04 MVP for Win9X / DTS Help us help you: http://www.dts-L.org/goodpost.htm http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/ Your cooperation is very appreciated. ____ "shadows_inthe_darkness2000" wrote in message ... Noel, Sad to say that the tips you gave have not helped, the problem persists and I am wondering weather I should just reinstall and save some time! Any modem I add does not get a listing, no listing - no adding of dial-up-networking. I have tried 2 attached modems, one by cable and one PCI card. The PCI card can be seen on COM3, and passed diags. The COM port based modem after install with CD does not get listed nor seen on a COM port. Indeed now the COM ports are getting confused with COM2 and COM5!!!! I have added a standard modem from the list (any of them) and no listing. I am not sure if ME should but it does not give the option to search for a modem on the COM ports. It seems as though the whole modem system within WinME is up the creak. One strange thing though is that all the modems I have tried to add is seen in Device Manager. I am wondering if there is a registry problem, however I am not sure where to look. I dont want to reinstall but they may be the only option. If you or anyone else has any views then please let me know!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for all the help so far.
