Damn HSP56 MR...

What version of Windows are you running on the computer in question as well as the OS which was on the computer that used to have the modem in it before it was formated? Also, what's the manufacturer of the modem (should be listed on the card or on the CD that came with the modem)? Finally, you say that you installed it into the AMR slot of the computer... was it in the AMR slot on the other computer as well? I'm not certain, but it's possible that, considering the difference of machine, the AMR slots are not compatible.

Oh yeah, one thing you may also want to try is to pull the card out and reinsert it. It's quite possible that it's simply not inserted tightly enough.

I had WinXP Home on the old one. And I have WinXP pro on this one.

Yes it was in the ARM slot in the other computer aswell.

Also I've tried that... As I said before, could it be my BIOS?

**An Error in my BIOS?**

It's possible that you have to enable the AMR slot in your BIOS, yes. I haven't worked with AMR slots very much, but I know certain BIOS's allow you to turn it on and off (to save IRQs if you don't need it).

Also, have you checked PCTel's web site for a XP Pro driver?

Yeah, I have it. I've tried it. But I'm off to bed, and to go to my other computer to fix it. :) If anyone else can help please do.


I'm out.

I Can't get thi! I don't know wha is wrong!!!!:(

I am starting to think that it is the COM port that it is on. It only says I have one Com port (COM1) is installed...What is wrong with my computer, can anyone help me...

I had modem installation problems on WinXP Pro several months ago (before I got DSL installed) that were related to my com ports. The solution for me (may or may not be the one for you) was to disable my serial ports...once I did that, the modem installed to com 1 and all was well.

Ok, how could I go about doing that.

It's in your BIOS, probably under 'integrated perepherials' if you have that particular settings group.

personally I think modem risers are the shittiest thing invented. Check your bios to see if the slot is enabled, if it is, and it isn't working, check the mobo manual to see if there are any jumpers you need to set, and finally, if that doesn't work, check the mobo manufacturers site for downloads for it. Windows XP certainly doesn't help your situation out any either....

oh and did you check this site ?????
