123220 2003-02-22 09:21:00 Microstar 815ept motherboard,
Dynalink Lucent hardware modem,
Windows ME.

Starting computer after full shutdown, windows (or bios) wont detect modem. Somtimes it takes a couple of full shutdowns, before windows decides to detect it. I have up to date drivers, played around in bios changing settings, but still the same prob.
This problem doesn't occur if restarting or reset button is pushed.
I notice on boot up, " updating DMI ", when i see this message i know the modem is working.

Normally i would leave the computer going, and woulded have this problem, but it's in my room at the moment.

Boot into safe mode, right click on my computer & select devices.
Expand each section & remove devices you know you don't have anymore, especially the modems & enumerators section.
Don't remove the "dial up adaptor" though you need this.
If you have installed & removed devices in the past they will still be listed.
Reboot.
If still no good change the BIOS to setup defaults & try again.
If the problem still persists check the boards website for a BIOS upgrade.
DON"T do a BIOS upgrade unless you know what you are doing though as you could render the machine usesless if it goes wrong.
