PHONE RINGS AND COMPUTER BOOTS UP

G

Guest

I've been using Windows XP(internal phone modem) for 2 years now.
However, for the last 7 days, if my computer is shut down, it automatically
boots up when the telephone rings.

I have ensured the "device to bring computer out of standby" in Phone&Modem
options is not "checked".
I have also ensured the modem option to boot up computer in BIOS is disabled.
I have even "disabled" the modem in Phone&Modem option.

But nothing seems to stop my computer from booting up when the phone rings.

Anyone have any ideas?

Go intio the BIOS of the PC and make sure it doesn't wake or boot on com ports or modems.
