| 63693 | 2002-07-20 23:09:00 | Also, another thing, If I remove the modem (by going cntrl panel, modem, remove) then add one (same but add) windows searchs for a modem on COM port 1 & 2, but it doesn't find anything - and it says I have to choose one from the list - so I go to the 'Conexant' manufacturer tab, and it displays a list of modems (it only has one) so I clik this and it goes from there. Could it be, that the moded is installed on a wrong port/slot - because I remeber when I got my Geforce card - the guy put it in for free - and he also moved the modem down a slot because it was to cramped with the vid card. If i moved it back up a slot would this make a difference? |

| 63694 | 2002-07-20 23:18:00 | Hmm... It may turn out in the end that the only cure is another modem. Those HCF Conexants have minds of their own. If you haven't already tried this, it may well pay you to remove the modem from Windows, ie go to Modems-Remove from Control Panel, then switch off and physically move the modem to another PCI slot, just in case there is any sort of conflict with the AGP slot, or a raid controller etc. Switch on and let Windows re-detect the modem. |

| 63696 | 2002-07-21 00:14:00 | OK, I will try that - but, I have a Geforce 2 in the AGP slot, and only 2 PCI slots, it is currently in the 2nd (bottom) one, and if I move it up to the top one, there will only be a few mm between the fan on the GF2 and the modem, will this be ok? |

| 63697 | 2002-07-21 00:28:00 | Well fergie, it could be worth trying just to see if that is the problem. If the modem still plays up then you could move it back again, and/or see if you could try another modem on a 'sale or return' basis from a friendly shop, trying to get something other than an HCF, maybe a Lucent one. Better still, an external modem wont (he says hopefully) give the problems you've been having. The size of fans on video cards is becoming a problem, there's one PCI slot I cant use next to the video card, but it's the one with the same interupt as the video, so it doesn't matter that much. |

| 63698 | 2002-07-23 02:57:00 | Fergie ; your modem is a HSF modem ,not a HCF modem,make sure you are downloading the drivers for the correct one. The enumerator is the modem , as your modem is totally software based, it must also be listed in device manger, can,t remember the exact name ,but something like HSF enumerator,if it is not there then that is your problem.Modem will also be there. You say the the modem is in contolpanel/modem , then select diagnotics/com 3 and click on more info and see what happens,should be no errors. |

| 63699 | 2002-07-23 07:02:00 | I had a look to find out what should be in device manager. You should have 2 separate devices in device manager,one should be HSFMODEM,then if you click on the + there should be Conexant pci modem enumerator,thats one device.You should also have MODEM,click on the + there should be Conexant soft56,data,fax and maybe voice, thats the second device ,if those are there with no problems ,then your modem should work,whats actually listed there maybe a bit different ,it just depends what driver your using,certainly after you install Conexant,s generic driver,you have it exactly as I have written. The fact that your modem works but only slow is a bit puzzling,but the driver is the first place to look ,as the driver on your modem is the modem |

| 63700 | 2002-07-24 07:10:00 | Ok, Heres what I've done I downlaoded the HSF generic modem drivers from conexant. I installed the drivers I check "Modem" in Cntrl Panel and there is TWO installed : Genric SoftK56 Data Fax on COM1 and Genric SoftK56 Data Fax #2 on COM3 OK, i think, i must have stuffed up somewhere, So i remove #2 I then click "more Info" on the modem left (#1) - failed to respond. I remove that then (no modem installed now) Then clikc "add" in Modem, windows searches, but can't find any, so I have to choose it from list. So I click "Have Disk" and go to where the Generic drivers are that I downlaoded. I choose to install it on COM 1, computer freezes while installing - not sure why? New Hardware box appears on start up, Install the generic driver, no prob's Go to Cntrl Panle, clik modems, only one, clik more info - all fine. Go to "system" "device manager" Two things there (for modem) HSFMODEM - Generic PCI modem Enumerator - under + and Generic SoftK56... Dial up to interent, 26K :( Go to dial - up networking, right clik interenet connection, clik propetries, then "DUN cannot find specifed modem" clik OK go to "connect using" choose Generic SoftK56 ....... from drop down menu (it was on Generic Soft ........ #2) clik Ok rite clik works now - no message dial back up, connect at 26K |
