COM1 / COM3 problem whit modem

[Waffa]

After I cleaned out spy & ad ware, and reinstall windows (it was quite
messed up), the dial up option under "new connection wizard " was
grayed out. so i was trying delete from registry folders 25 & 26 under
rasman/PPP/EAP & Telephony along whit multiple new drivers - nothing (this action have helped me before).
Then I got online whit LAN and install XP SP1, and after that the grayed out
problem was gone, BUT now when i start to make dialup connection, its looking
modem from COM1 ; but the problem is that modem installs himself to COM3
only.So under dial its shows: "device is missing" (but in device manager
everithing works) I was trying to set the modem use the COM1 & disable 3, but all I got
was blue screen. I was trying to play around whit IRQs in BIOS, but still same:
nothing, what did I wrong, what should I to?


[i'm sorry about my bad gramar ]
Thank You!

You are reporting and IRQ Conflict with com1 and com3 which uses the same irq 4 interrupt. You can move the modem card to another pci slot without uninstalling anything to see if that would resolve your irq conflict.

or

try to uninstall the modem and move the card to another slot and then reinstall the driver that support this modem and see if that will finally resolve your irq conflict with the modem.

just a thought!!!
