Drivers and Win98

[Simon12345]

I have a Rockwell HCF 56k modem (WS-5614pm3g). In my old Win95OSR2 PC I used the 2.1.2.135.6 driver and it worked fine but that doesnt work on my Win98 PC. The moment the driver is installed the pc locks up, any ideas?

Thanks, Simon

You have probably got a resource conflict.
Go get driver 2.1.2.135b from my modems page, unzip it somewhere.
Boot to safe mode, remove all modem(s) and com ports in device manager.
Restart, go into BIOS setup.
Disable com 2.
Set "PnP OS Installed" to NO.
Set "Reset configuration data" to YES.
Restart, reinstall. Cheers,
Jim

Thanks for the tips, I tried your tips there, the only thing I didnt do was disable Com2 in the BIOS as I couldnt find this option in my Gigabyte GA-71XE4 mobo BIOS. It had troubles when installing the modem driver as it wanted HCF1103.INF and that folder only contained HCF1103M.INF I pointed the installer to my original CD that came with the modem for that file which worked fine. On installation I selected country (UK) and then the mouse pointer started flicking between an arrow and an hourglass but the PC still functioned, it was only when I re-booted that it wouldnt load windows again.
Any more ideas???
Thanks, Simon

Boot to DOS.
At the C:\prompt, type: scanreg
Select a backup from a date when the computer was working.
Restart. Cheers,
Jim

The modem never has been working as the computer is a new build. I just cant for the life of me get my rockwell modem working, any last ditch ideas?
