Modem problems

In windows ME, my Modem is shown to be in COM 3 in modem properties, yet in device manager, only COM 1 is shown under ports, with no modem shown. Also, IRQ 5 is shown to be modem AND Sound device. How do I correct this please?

You did not say whether modem works. If it works, leave it alone, the settings are ok. Al

i think that's normal. mine is the same, under ports i have listed COM1 & LTP1. In device manager my modem is on COM3 under MSFMODEMWDM. As the old saying goes " if it aint broke , dont fix it"

I have a similiar problem except my modem doesn't work. My old modem didn't work as it got burnt out in an electrical storm. I have a new one that works fine in 98 - once I install ME it says my modem isn't responding. Any ideas?
