130621 2003-03-25 05:36:00 OK, i've gone through the device manager and BIOS and checked everything.

Acording to the device manager

com 1 = 3F8 IRQ4 (external modem)
com 2 = 2F8 IRQ3 (mouse)

Acording to the BIOS

Onboard serial port 1 = 3F8h
Onboard serial port 2 = 2F8h

To me that seems absolutly what it should be according to what is posted above. At no point does the device manager report any conflicts, BUT when i restart the computer, it keeps finding a "new" modem, KTZ FM-56K-VSE which it wants to install. I don't let it, as i do not have the correct drivers for it.

130622 2003-03-25 06:11:00 I found its better the other way around. MOuse on 1, modem on 2.
You could let it install the modem again then just disable it in Device manager. AT least then Windows will shut up.

I swapped the modem and mouse around, booted up, allowed windows to find a mouse, changed the modem to COM 2 and dialed up to the net.

Mousy no die when connection made!!

Thanx all
