IRQ Conflicts w/ my modem...Plz help!

[RydinDirty]

Allright, I?m having problems getting my Supra 56K V.90 modem to work in Windows XP. I used to have a cable modem so that?s why I hadn?t known that it didn?t work. It has an IRQ conflict. The modem, COM 1, and COM 2 all want to use IRQ 3. I had to disable COM1 and COM2 and just leave the modem on just so I could connect. But it always doesn?t work. I get a hardware failure error sometimes when I try to dial my ISP. So I guess I gotta set my IRQs manually but I dunno how. Well, this is how it looks right now:

IRQ 3 is used by COM2
IRQ 4 is used by COM1
IRQ 5 is used by LPT2
IRQ 7 is used by LPT1
IRQ 8 is used by RTC Alarm.
IRQ 9 says IRQ Redirect
IRQ 10 is reserved
IRQ 11 is reserved
IRQ12 is used by the PS2 port
IRQ 14 is used by the hard drive
IRQ 15 is reserved

So which IRQ should I make the modem use? Or should I just leave both my COM ports disabled? Pleaaaaaase help!

dont know if this helps but...

my diamond supra is loaded into com 3 ?
is yours onboard modem or pci?

my com ports are open.

i didn't assign any irq's

how did you load software /drivers supra can be touchy if loaded differently

any yellow or red ! marks?

how did you set it up ?networking?internet?

mine is in the 2nd pci slot from agp port ,did you try moving yours?

mine video then ethernet then modem then soundcard then blank thenusb
then extra com port

hope this helps
