| 370392 | 2005-07-07 23:21:00 | I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this little problem . I’ve got a Linux box up and running except for the HCF Win Modem . Fine I thought, for the meantime I would let the Linux Box have my External Modem and I would fit the HCF to my usual machine . No problem . Well actually there is . Although the Modem installs correctly and you can call it up from Control Panel – Modem – Diagnostics – Com3 – More Info, the Dial-Up connections (Xtra & Clear) won’t work . I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the Dial-up Connections without success . I’ve deleted all Modems from Control Panel – Modems, and from Control Panel – System, (including enumerator . I’ve physically removed the modem and restarted computer and run Nortons Win-doctor in case there were any stray registry entries, re-installed the Modem and still no go . There’s no conflicts in Control Panel – System – Device Manager and everything is supposedly working properly . However, Programmes – Accessories – System Tools – System Information – Components – Problem Devices reveals the following: IRQ Holder for PCI Steering PCI \ IRQHOLDER \ 03 error code 22 . “Googleing” would indicate that this error is not important and is the result of some hardware being removed . I wonder??? Anyone any ideas?? (P3 on ME) |

| 370395 | 2005-07-08 02:00:00 | Uninstall the modem, reboot, then check the device manager. There should be nothing showing in modems. Reinstall the modem and driver. The other thing you could try is system restore .. restore back to before the modem config was changed (might work) |

| 370396 | 2005-07-08 02:28:00 | Ok, I’ll try again and see what happens. My thoughts at the moment are that something in the registry is pointing to the modem being on com 2 where the external one was. This beast is on com 3. Whilst I go through the whole rigmarole one more time has anyone any suggestions where to look in the registry for errant entries? |

| 370397 | 2005-07-08 02:29:00 | Also make sure the modem is inserted on the bottom PCI slot | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 370398 | 2005-07-08 02:35:00 | If it's using IRQ3 that indicates that it's "thinking" COM2 or COM4. COM1 and COM3 historically use IRQ4. This might not matter with a PCI device, but it's suspicious. :confused: | Graham L (2) | ||
