Firstly - how do know your modem is on com4?
When you restart your machine from a cold boot you should see
a panel which shows serial and parallel device info. If you hit
the pause key on your keyboard you should be able to halt the boot
process so you can copy the data down. I want to know what your BIOS
tells us about your serial and parallel ports - ok?. You may
restart the boot process by tapping your space bar.
Once again - what type of mouse do you have - serial or USB ?
Try this and come back to us and we'll go from there
Cheers
