Hi,

A suggestion:
Turn off the 2nd com port in the BIOS, (assuming it is not used for anything).
Turn off any auto system on devices in the BIOS
Go into safe Mode and remove all com ports in the Device Manager
Remove all modems from the device manager

Reboot the system, let it find the com ports and install the modem again.
