Installed XP on daughters system which had been operating '98 with no problems using modem.
(Matsonic K7 (MS8308E) mobo & 950 K7 Duron processor - private build)
Fitted modem would not operate with XP, so installed Hayes V.92 56K PCI (XP compliant) after installing software - will not recognise so exchanged for new Hayes modem - still no joy. WILL recognise & work with external modem with no problems at all, but no joy with Hayes internal. Refitted old hard drive with Win 98 and it recognised modem staright away, but re connected up drive with XP and AGAIN no recognition.
Is this mobo/BIOS incompatible with XP?, I though connecting up the external modem which worked would eliminate that theory. Is it possible for a BIOS upgrade? as daughter does not want the clutter (?) of an external modem - or is there a particular setting on BIOS that needs to be made (there is a setting for onboard modem - enabled/disabled/auto - but makes no difference)
Hoping for a solution (are not we all??) - tibboh :huh:
