Grab your Phillips, it's...
The Latest from The Screwdriver List!
Maheep, I'm going to go out on a limb on this one -- this solution may sound
a little far-fetched -- but I *know* that this has helped me in the past
with a troublesome internal modem that was acting exactly like yours.
Here's what I suggest:
1. COMPLETELY delete the modem from your system, including from both the
Modems Control Panel and the Device Manager. Of course, you'll have to do
both steps together, without rebooting in between, so I would do them in
that order.
2. Shut down the PC and remove the modem card... leave the case off.
3. Reboot your PC. Once it's completed the boot sequence, shut it down
normally.
4. Now re-install the modem card.
5. Boot, and (if your system is like mine) you can use the modem's
installation CD, just like you did the first time. I'll bet Windows will
suddenly recognize the modem!
In cases like this, I think the Plug-and-Play support in Windows becomes
"confused" (no better word for it), and it actually requires you to remove
the hardware and reinstall it to set things right.
Hope that fixes it!
