I have an Dial up Modem and when I try to querry the Modem
thro Device Manager it says that the Port is already in
use by another application how can I find which
application it is so I can disable it.
I also have a Broadband Modem as well could that be the
problem.
 
Thankyou RonK
I have noticed in browsing that the Port 1 & 2
are in use so should I put the modem on Port 3 and how
you must have gathered I a Novice please be patient.

Manythanks
LLoyd
 
Depending on the modem - there may be a jumper on the modem to allow setting
to com 3. Have you put the modem in a different slot ?
 
No yet as I am a little slow can you tell me how to
install the Modem on Port 3 please.

again manythanks

Lloyd
