Hello! It sounds like your modem needs to play by itself. Some of the
cheaper modems out there refuse to share resources with the COM port
it uses. It seems your conflict is between the modem and the COM 1.
For the modem to work, you have to disable COM 1. To do this you have
to enter your computer's setup (at the beginning of the boot process)
and go to wherever the COM ports (they might be called serial ports)
are listed. There is usually a choice to disable the port. Do it for
COM (or serial) port 1. After rebooting with this change, go into
Device manager and remove the listing for COM 1 under the Ports group.
You may have to reboot again, but that SHOULD do it. Good luck. HTH

        Have a modem on a Packard-Bell that isn't/hasn't been working.
First place I go to is the Device Manager.  There I see a LogiCode
33H-P-CL and it says this device is working properly.  "Modem" tab
under properties shows COM1.  "Resources" tab shows an I/O range and
an IRQ of 4.  "No Conflicts" shows in the conflicting device list.

        Also in Device Manager, there is an ! next to COM1; "This
device
causing resource conflict".  "Resources" tab says this device isn't
using any resources because it is not currently enabled or has a
problem.  To assign resources, I click on "Set Configuration
Manually".  Clicking on it, I see in Conflicting Device List the
Logicode modem, both I/O range and IRQ of 4.  To get rid of conflict
I un-check "Use Automatic Setting" and attempt to change I/O range
and IRQ, but this resource setting cannot be modified.

        So, I go back to Modem in Device Manager and attempt to do the
same
thing under resources tab.  There I ALSO get "This resource setting
cannot be modified" for both I/O and IRQ.

        Looking at IRQ's under Device Manager, I see COM2 shows IRQ 3
and
LPT1 shows IRQ 7.  Now, I'm even more confused when I exit Windows,
go to MSD and it shows only 1 COM port; no COM2, 3, or 4.

        I'm definitely going in circles and need some help!


Thanks.
