Question about 'What do I do with ''unknown'' devices in Device Manager?'

I have a question about What do I do with "unknown" devices in Device Manager?:

Win98SE: What do I do if there is ONLY a "in use by unknown device"-entry in the I/O-settings, which are not editable. (Devicemanager-Computer-Properties=> 4 radiobuttons, IRQ, I/O, DMA, Memory). Juergen

I read that this can be generated when WIndows is connected to a device that is not 'plug & play' compatible. But I have this message too in the I/O list device mngr doesn't report any unknown devices...? hmmm? So how can an unknown device be recognized as such in the I/O list and not in device mngr?

I found After loading MS Fax Svc, that it took over my modem, I had to Ctrl, Alt, Del, and "end task" FAx Svc. to capture my modem so I could access the internet. (each time I turned on my computer)! THis may be the same routine but w/other devices.

i not familiar with ms fax svc, but i installed third party fax device which i can access via program menus. however, the program also started every time i turned on the machine or restarted. two possible sollutions: in the program it self i told it not to load at start up. also, look in the start menu to see if you can remove from there. another possible solution is to use a program like started to control which programs load at start up.
