If either of these conditions are present, correct them. Make a note of the Com port and IRQ the modem is using. If the Device Status area shows some error message, it will generally be about a conflict. Go to the Resources tab and read the Conflicting Device List. If a conflict is present, click to deselect “Use automatic settings” and select a configuration that does not cause conflicts. Manually change the IRQ set- tings if needed (see your Windows 95 or 98 on-line help file for a more detailed discussion on changing these settings). Click the OK button. If there is no setting free of conflicts, See “Does Not Install.”

Step 3: Modem Diagnostics

On the taskbar, click Start. On the Start menu, click Settings, then click Control Panel and double-click the Modems icon. Your modem should be listed. If any other modem is listed, click once on each old modem and then click the Remove button. It is a good idea to turn off your computer, wait 5 seconds and turn the power back on. Return to Modems and click the Diagnostics tab. Highlight the modem by clicking once on the COM port icon next to its listing. Now click the More Info button. You should see the panel below.

If you receive an error message or the panel is blank, see “Does Not Install” section.
