Modem Port already in use

[Lloyd Mortiss]

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.

try the modem in a different slot - It may be conflicting with another
device IRQ.

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

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 ?

install the Modem on Port 3 please.

again manythanks
