INSTALLATION PROBLEMS

Use this section to solve installation problems.

SYMPTOM Hardware conflict messages displayed

SOLUTION There is a conflict between your adapter settings and your operating system. Run CONFIG.EXE to analyze the conflicts, or refer to "Specifications" for the configuration defaults.

SYMPTOM Internal read error during installation

SOLUTION Ensure you are not running the Norton Antivirus program while installing the Multimedia Modem Plus.

SYMPTOM COM Port conflict detected but no other device is using the port

SOLUTION Your operating system is using the specified COM Port. See your computer operations manual for instructions on disabling the port. Disable the port from a configuration or BIOS setup program that can be accessed when your turn on or restart your computer.

If the conflicting port is a printer port and you do not have a printer attached to that port, accept the port setting by closing the configuration program and using the configuration with the failed COM Port test.

SYMPTOM Sounds do not play or the system hangs

SOLUTION If your computer has built-in sound capability, a DMA-channel and an interrupt- request-line might be in use. These are not required when using the Multimedia Modem Plus. You can disable the DMA-channel and the interrupt-request-line by running the BIOS setup software shipped with your computer.
