Modem nightmare

[jay jay]

To anyone out there who genuinely can offer some advice on
my problem. Please read the initial post down below and I
have include my only response to date.It is now the second
week and this is all the replies I have received. The only
other information I can add is that prior to this problem
manifesting itself I had problems with the remote deskttop
connection and there may have been files that were deleted
in my effort to get it working.But remember I have
reloaded XP pro (twice)

Thanks for your reply.
However the problem occurred before I was forced into
looking for answers and the only update driver from MS was
the ESS modem driver.In all that I descibed earlier and
before I put in a different modem Ifirst got rid of the
other modem drivers.
I have since put in a new modem to no effect.I have a
suspiscion it may have something to do with RCP that I was
looking at prior to my modem meltdown.
Sorry Bubba, I am still alive(just) but haven't learnt
anything yet to solve this problem.
Someone Help!!!

Look under Control panel>System>hardware>Device Manager - any yellow error
marks under PCI devices? If so you may not being installing your drivers
correctly.

Modems can be a real pain - not just in XP but in Win 98. Especially when the motherboard wants to capture a COM port and the modem is trying to install in the same one. I know you said you got updated drivers and that may be the case but when I went from Win 98 to XP some of the old drivers didn't work right. Just a thought, have your tried using the XP generic 56K modem driver just to get it working -- then look for an upgrade if you need it. Good luck!

After two weeks the nightmare is over.
Thanks to those that contributed but my solution was never
going to be a simple one.(all simple bases had been
covered as described in the original plea below).One thing
I did notice whilst on this forum is that people appear
not to digest what you have done or said to have done in
your text message in trying to solve the problem, which is
intended to eliminate someone offering a solution that has
already being attempted.
No I had recognised my problem was more deep rooted than
the solutions as offered and found in "MS help and
support" in Xp.
For those that are interested my code 39 and 41 problems
were registry orientated. I came across an article on the
web relating to CD Rom but with the same error codes.
"upperfilters, lowerfilters" as detailed in Microsoft
Q314060 was the key to getting my modem working again.

Thanks
