By default COMs 1 and 3 share IRQ4, and COMs 2 and 4 share IRQ3...it's possible if your using a Serial Mouse on COM 1 and a modem on COM 3 that there is an IRQ conflict. I would recommend either changing Modem to a diff. IRQ (eg: 9 or 10), or Modem to a diff COM (eg: COM 2/IRQ3). just my 0.02 worth...:) HTH Jaguar Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, 26 Dec 1999 21:27:03 -0500, you wrote: > > >On Sun, 26 Dec 1999, G_REEPER wrote: > >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > >> Hash: SHA1 > >> > >> this is aproblem that has just started in the last few days.
