    Modem Error Message: Port already Open/Can't open Port

    Simon: I checked that Microsoft site out. Even though it indicated that the information was for win98 I'll see what works. Thanks. Edfair: I'll try and change the modem to com 2, but since I eliminated the conflict and changed the CMOS setting, every thing is working alright. It seems that...

    Modem Error Message: Port already Open/Can't open Port

    edfair: I haven't considered changing anything on the board, but I did find out why it was changing back to a conflicting IRQ each time I booted up. Since I changed the IRQ manually, I was suppose to leave the "Automatic Check Mark" unchecked for the manual change to take effect even...

    Modem Error Message: Port already Open/Can't open Port

    edfair: I booted up that problem computer again today, and the IRQ conflict was there again. It (conflict) was being created each time I booted up. I went to my CMOS setup and observed that the Modem was listed on IRQ 4, and that appears to be the reason it goes back to IRQ 4 each time I...

    Modem Error Message: Port already Open/Can't open Port

    edfair: I use to use an external modem 8 or 10 years ago, but there is such a big difference in cost that I have to go with the "Internal". But I had problem with that external also. It was called "Vi Va Vi Va" or something like that. I don't think they make that modem...

    Modem Error Message: Port already Open/Can't open Port

    J.Saucier: I'm using the problem computer now, and I just got it to work, somewhat. The system is buggy. It seems as if it sticks the port open sometimes when I try to connect. When I reinstall the modem, w95 reinstall it with a "Conflict". I've never known windows to install a...

    Modem Error Message: Port already Open/Can't open Port

    What causes the error message Port already open or Can't open port. The phone has a dial tone, there is no errors in the Device Manager, no irregularities in the modem resources, and I have removed and installed the modem several times. I get this error message when I click on the connect...

    Can't fully delete w95 using "deltree windows"

    That answers my question. Some programs (as you said, they are maybe non-windows programs) can be restored to the desktop by creating a "Shortcut" which creates the necessary "Path and the "exe" file name. This work in w95 and w98. On other programs I get an error...

    How do you make a boot disk for Windows 2000 Pro?

    Why wouldn't microsoft make that a part of the software sales package? Don't they include any necessary startup information? It's only a matter of time before they will be selling a blank disk. I guess they are just preparing you for downloading on-line in the future. leart3

    Can you clean install from product upgrade CD ??

    Why not deltree windows from the c: drive if you have important files you want to save, but you will have to reinstall the Icons to access these programs, and I don't know how to file to set up the shortcut to create an Icon for each program. I have another problem, I see advertised on price...

    Can't fully delete w95 using "deltree windows"

    I decided to rename windows to eliminate the 3 directories that was keeping the setup from continuing, and I also decided to reinstall an older w95A instead of using the cab files for the w95B version and everything went smoothly. The only problem is I have to figure out how to replace the...

    Can't fully delete w95 using "deltree windows"

    I can't fully delete win95 using "deltree windows". The system leaves 3 directories: . , .. , and Desktop. I'm trying to save the other files on the drive by deleting a corrupted w95 and reinstalling from the CAB files. I know I can wipe the whole drive, but that will destroy my...

    Win Explorer illegal operation

    After you got the message the first time, on what occasion did you get it again. Do you get the Illegal when you operate word, or do you get it when you operate your new downloaded program? If you are sure it's related to the new download why not go to "Add/Remove" in the control...

    Can't get w95 to detect and install my cd rom drive

    clive:<br><br>I lowered that cpu speed to 300, but i'm under the impression that in addition to installing the cdrom lines in auto and config, I also have to get a copy of a generic cd rom file to copy to the root directory (C:).&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it possible to find that file on the...
