| l. chatagnier Tl Posts: 1 USA | Posted - 12/18/2003 9:44:01 AM    My Intel Connect phone, fax software wont work because the system no longer recognizes the virtual com8 port. Using w98se, LT winmodem driver v8.3 on HP Pavilin 8370. Uninstalling and then reinstalling Intel Connect didn't help. Would like to get com8 back without doing a complete system reinstall including w98se upgrade. Would appreciate any help. len |

| v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 12/18/2003 3:44:26 PM  If the modem is assigned to COM8, it's usually the result of repeated/failed install attempts. Windows may list COM ports in use that really aren't (most computers come with 1 - assigned COM1). Aloha! Richard. |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 12/19/2003 10:34:16 AM TO FORCE THE [PCI] MODEM TO A SPECIFIC COM PORT**: Edit the Ltmodem.inf file to uncomment (remove the semicolon - ; ) from the line: [ltmodem_CommVars_AddReg] HKR,, PORTNAME,,"COM2" If you do this do it before the drivers install. |
