View Full Version : WinXP detecting a modem that isn't there?

Recently, upon startup, my secondary machine has been detecting that a pci modem is installed. That computer hasn't had a modem installed on it for a looong time. I think it started when I installed an old soundblaster 16 bit pci card. I've never had this problem when I've installed the card on any other machine, though. Any ideas on what the problem could be? I think it's messing with my network, too, because my networking problem found here (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=290468) started about the same time that I started getting this error.

Have you installed the drivers for the soundblaster?

Yes all of the latest drivers are installed. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I finally gave up and just disabled the modem in the device manager but that feels too much like a temporary fix to me. I'd really like to know what I could do to get it take care of.
