Hi,

I know you have done some of this, but just give this a try:

Boot up and take all references for modem out or delete them by Start, Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager.

Shut down, move the modem to PCI #3 or the third slot down from the AGP card slot.

Boot up and enter BIOS ssetup menu.

While here, go to the area that says PnP. If you are using XP, then Disable that item......and......if you are using Win98, then Enable that area.

Exit and Save your settings.

Let the computer find your modem and force it update the driver or if it asks for if you have a driver point it to the following:

(You must download the newest and best drivers from your modem manufacturer's website or from a new CD that came with your modem if it is a new modem....I really prefer the website download....please know that winXP only has old v.90 drivers that are very outdated and do not work very well)

Force the modem to load the drivers you have downloaded, even it if tells you they are not digitally signed. (that is another issue that I don't want to take time to write down)

This should get you going...and let us know what happens when you have done that.
