Charley; What type of motherboard do you have? Some of the new
motherboards allow you to assign an IRQ to a specific PCI slot. Take a
look for that in the BIOS, and if it's there, check your M/B to see
which slot your modem is installed in. Make sure that you use an IRQ
that isn't in use, and assign that IRQ to the proper PCI slot.
Otherwise, right under that "Plug and Play" entry in your BIOS is
something that should read "Reset Configuration Data". Enable it. It
will probe your IRQ's and determine if it can automatically assign a
different IRQ to your modem. Next suggestion,...try relocating other PCI
devices, and/or installing them one at a time (Modem first right after
the video card). One word of caution though. This is a last-ditch
exercise. You may have to re-do your install if you try that. Hope that
helps.
