chaos4u 0 Posted January 23, 2000 i have windows 2000 and i am using a diamond supra sonic II modem .... this modem is essensitally two modems on one card that shares a common irq ... i have it setup using irq 5 when setting this modem up in win2k it detects the the two modems as comports and and lists them correctly ... i install the standard 56 k driver to both comports, and the modems both work great... however whenever i restart windows 2k the comports become invalid and i am forced to remove one of them . to end the conflict of both comports using irq 5 thus leaving only one modem working (i would perfer to have both working as this makes some tasks that i do easier )... what i am wondering if there is i a way that i can force windows 2k in to keeping the orginal settings that it had before i rebooted .... i have tried exporting the serial and modem registry keys and then importing them back .. but that had no effect (maybe im missing some keys ???)... is there a way that i can either edit a policy to keep windows from changing the settings ... or even possibly work up a script via windows scripting host that would either keep windows changing the settings ... or possibly uninstall the devices and configure the registry so that the comports can be redected without a reboot and then redetect the comports and then add the modem drivers ... any ideas on how to implement such a task would be most welcome i already saw that S3 says this modem dose not work in nt ... but i have seen it work just fine ... im looking for any ideas on a possibly hack that tricks windows 2k into keeping the settings that has upoun first install ------------------ music the paint dancefloor the canvas your body the brush Share this post Link to post
