Code 12 error for USR faxmodem

[mwulfe]

I recently installed a model 5699B USR faxmodem on my Vista Ultimate
computer. The device manager says "This device cannot find enough
free resources that it can use. (Code 12)". There are several KB
notes on the MS site for other devices, but none that help with this
one. Anyone have a clue?

Hi,

Try removing the drivers and reinstall. Use the link above to be sure you
have the correct driver.

Disable serial port 2 in bios, and serial port 1 if you don't use it.

Thanks for both ideas.

I have downloaded the latest driver multiple times, uninstalled and
re-installed many times, but that is clearly not the problem.

I uninstalled the modem,then disabled com1 in BIOS (the only one I
have on my ASRock motherboard) as suggested. The modem re-installed
but the problem is still there. I know com1 is disabled because it no
longer appears in device manager.

Any other suggestions?
