Here's a good one for somebody...

I am working on a friend's PC.  When trying to dial out on the modem, an error stating that the COM port is already in use pops up.  I have tried reinstalling the modem, installing a different modem, making sure there are no IRQ conflicts, etc.  I have tried COM1 through COM4 with the same results.

The modem is an internal Zoom 56k.  I have even tried using updated drivers for the modem.  The OS is Win98SE.

The strange part is that when I reinstall the modem and reboot, it will dial out.  But, if I shut the computer down and restart, it gives the error message again when I try to dial out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
