IT SAID: THERE IS NO MODEM CONNECTED

BUT IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!


I TRIED EVERYTHING

EVERY GODAMN THING

FIRST, I PUT THE PC BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL SITUATION


DISCONNECTED THE BURNER

AND PUT EVERYTHING AS IT WAS

STILL NO MODEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I EVEN PUT MY OLD PCI MODEM TO TRY AND CONNECT


ANYWAY WHAT I DID WAS

TO TAKE OUT ALL OF THE SECONDARY IDE

YES ALL OF IT

AND NOW IT RECOGNISES MY ISDN MODEM AND I CAN CONNECT

BUT NOT ONLY DO I NOT HAVE A BURNER I DO NOT HAVE A CDROM EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!


THE TAKING OUT OF THE SECONDARY IDE CABLE WAS THE THING THAT PERMITTED AGAIN MY PC TO RECOGNISE MY ISDN MODEM




WHAT TO DO NOW???????

IRQ conflict most likely. Why I can't figure out. Modems mostly use the COM IRQs. Which shouldn't conflict with the IDE ports. Odd.

About all I can recommend at the moment is to uninstall the modem IN THE DEVICE manager and then reinstall it. You may even have to go so far as to reinstall the OS to get everything to play nice again. That is one of the things that XP is supposed to make easier. It shares IRQs a lot. Even IRQs that would make Windows 98SE break down.

What you really need is a wizard. Someone you know that actually does understand this stuff. You don't even know where to look for the problems so you can ask us the right questions. Maybe someone here can help you over the internet but what you really need is hands on help. At least over the phone so you don't need the modem working at the same time as you get help.

try moving the modems recourses(sp) , so they don't conflict with the IDE

[reds4ever]

beat me to it Eth.;O)

[Bereta_Eder]

MIRACLE MIRACLE BLESSING HEAVENT SENT every thing works like a miracle now

[Bereta_Eder]

I JUST CONNECTED BACK THE SECONDARY IDE CABLE LIKE BEFORE AND NOW THE MODEM WORKS!!!!!


WHAT THE HELL!!!


I DONT QUESTION IT. IT SAW FIT TO WORK AND IT WORKED


ETHEL GONNA READ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS NOW


BTW BEFORE THAT I TRIED IN MY DESPERATION TO SWITCH SETTINGS IN A COM PORT , I THING I CHANGED SOMETHING FROM 4 TO 3 I DONT REMEMBER BUT IT DIDNT WORK EITHER


BUT NOW EVERY THING WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is Paiktis doesn't know what the heck we are talking about. Thats why he needs help in the same room. This stuff is kind of arcane and I haven't used a dial up connection in two years so I don't really remember all the things I used to do to get modem to cooperate when it didn't want to.

If he had XP or even that crappy ME he could the Help stuff that is in the OS. That is surprisingly usefull now. Of course you need an internet connection for a some of it. He could spend days learning about all this stuff.

Well one cure is to get a USB modem. That will get around IRQ conflicts IF his USB ports are working at the moment.
