OS: Windows XP.
I had been using the modem Genius GM56PCI (Lucent) for about half a year. And had no problems. Recently the modem disappeared from the modem list (Control Panel -> Phones and Modems). Therefore, it was not accessible.
I tried adding them manually by using Add modem. OS could not find it. Then I move the modem to another PCI slot. And OS have found it. Therefore, I was using them for a week.
After that, the modem disappeared once again. I try moving it to another slot, reinstall drivers, etc. Nevertheless, it does not help.
Then I change modem to a cheap PCTEL model. And have the following symptoms: XP was finding a new hardware, say that all is OK, but the modem wasn't in the modem list. Moreover, the hardware dispatcher wasn?t showing them. I tried to move the new modem to another PCI slots, try a bunch of different drivers, but it doesn't help again.
Now I?m playing a similar game with the new Genius GM56PCI (Agere). I'm having the same symptoms... Modem isn't accessible...
I think it's the problem of XP. I'm completely confused. Have anyone encountered the same problem?
Could somebody advise?
Thank in advance!
