Hello:
I have "First Aid 2000 v6.05" which shows this POTENTIAL PROBLEM . . .
MISMATCHED COMMUNICATIONS DRIVER:
The 56000 BPS Internal Modem is set to COM2 - but there is no modem on that port. Your driver is set to a different COM port than your modem. Click FIX to bring up Control Panel - Modem Setup to change the port setting.
I have tried COM2, COM3, COM4 settings, as well as, IRQ3 and IRQ4 . . . each time having AOL 8.0 detect the modem and always am able to sign-on to the internet.
No matter what setting I have chosen - "First Aid 2000" still shows that same POTENTIAL PROBLEM speaking of the COM port I have chosen (COM2; COM3; or COM4).
I have setup this modem as "PNP" and also "Manually."
In CMOS/BIOS SETUP UTILITY - Integrated Peripherals, I set:
Onboard Serial Port 1 = AUTO
Onboard Serial Port 2 = DISABLED
UART = (disappeared with disabling Serial Port 2).
ALSO - in Registry, it shows ...
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\0000
CONTENTION=*VCD
QUESTIONS:
Does this sound like a "First Aid 2000" bug or do I really have a Modem (COM/Driver) problem ?
Should I just IGNORE this problem - since I can always get online with this modem . . . or is there something I should do to correct this ?
