Thanks in anticipation.	Donald M (942)

It says it is in [COM3] But We only have two COM ports. Aer USB and COM ports the same thing? Sorry for being dumb. It is an external modem. I have tryed uninstaling and reinstaling it again but no go. Was working ok, but I have a sneeky feeling the grand child messed with it!	Donald M (942)

Accordingly anything that can upset the interrupts or IRQ can cause erratic behavior. When you uninstall it, unplug it, restart the PC, does it find it and install it OK? Can you then find it in control panel-system-hardware-device manager (expand the various devices to see)?	godfather (25)

It has been working ok for the last 6 months tho.	Donald M (942)
