Can anyone help with a problem i have? i have just recently changed the case on an old PC i have....nothing else has changed just the case but when trying to get the modem to respond i get a blue screen and the PC reboots. The Modem is working OK as i have tried it in another PC and the system recognises it but when checking more info or getting the modem to respond it just crashes the PC. I have deleted it and reinstalled it, changed the PCI slot it is in but still the same problem.

Sounds like a device conflict in which Win ME is famous for. Have you checked Properties for the modem to see if it is conflicting with another device before you actually test the modem? Your video card or Sound Card (If it is not onboard) is usually the bandit. Try changing the IRQ in Windows and rebooting before testing modem.

Hi Mikael i have checked the properties and it is showing "no conflicts for this device" i delted the modem and all related drivers then tried re-installing it but it doesn't find it until about the third reboot then same thing again. The problem is nothing has changed and everything was working OK before i changed the case as the old one had a few problems with it.
