Question about 'Resolving Hardware Conflicts'

I have a question about Resolving Hardware Conflicts:

I have an old (1995) Korean (Company extinct) GA-5866AP Pentium 75 machine.. Mouse and modem conlict. Mouse uses COM 1, Modem uses COM 3. Have tried all sorts of combinations but internal Zoltex modem only works on COM 3. Result: have to wiggle modem while down-loading, or else unhitch mouse and use num keys to move curor.. Any ideas? Thank!

What you have is an IRQ conflict as Com 1 and COM 3 share IRQ4. Check the modem and see if it has a movable jumper that can be set for COM2 or COM4 which would then use IRQ3. Or try changing the COM port assignment for the modem in device manager, modem, properties.

>Thanks, Steve. Ifound the jumper on the modem and switched it.Now Com 1(mouse) uses IRQ4 and modem uses IRQ 3. Mouse works fine.Still can't get Com 2 or com 4 to work, but IIABDFI. Thanks again. Bud.

Check the modem properties in device manager and you'll probably find it's using COM4 even if COM4 doesn't show in device manager, Ports COM and LPT
