If I remember correctly, once W95 has allocated an IRQ and address for a device it forces the BIOS to update it's "resources table" so that on subsequent boots it always uses the same (Windows determined) IRQ. By changing the "PnP OS" setting to "no" the BIOS is assigning resources the way it wants to. Your Windows is expecting the modem to be on a particular IRQ and not finding it so it gives up. Try completely removing your modem in Windows, doing the reboot, and hopefully Windows will re-find it (with "PnP OS" set to "no" in your BIOS should mean that Windows won't be able to f*!£ it up again. > `later! > > A. > > On Fri, 15 Sep 2000, Mark Ovens wrote: > > > Just thought of something.
