I'm having a problem with an installation. I can't get my computer to detect my modem. When I go to system in the control panel and check the properties of the modem, a window pops up and says 'Error, Cannot read port registry'. Is this the cause of my problem? Maybe a problem with the modem? I have an old LT Win modem as back up and it works fine for the internet, but won't work with winfax. The Rockwell modem is an RLDL56DPF (M1-5614PM3).

I would very much appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Scott Jackson

Thanks for giving it a shot, but that did not work. I'm thinking I may have damaged the modem in some way.

Any ideas on making a Lucent WinModem work with Winfax 4.0?

Thanks again.

A couple more steps to follow as a "last shot".
Remove the stuff in device manager in safe mode again.
Restart, go into BIOS setup.
Set "PnP OS Installed" to NO.
Set "Reset configuration data" to YES (enable).
DISable com 2.
Restart, and hopefully reinstall.
If it still doesn't work, go to Device manager, System devices, PCI bus, properties, IRQ steering, and DISable it.
Restart, and see what happens. Cheers,
Jim

No, still doesn't work. I still get a curious error message when I click on properties in the device manager for modem. It's slightly different than I stated before:
"Error: Cannot read port name for registry"

I don't know what the problem is, unless the modem is no longer working.

When I re-install the other modem, Windows detects it immediately and installs the drivers.

My problem with the WinModem is, when I try to receive a fax on winfax, it seems the modem hangs up the line then picks it up again. Thus, hanging up on the caller while trying to answer.

Thanks again for all your help.

The modem is trying to use a port. It's probably shared with another device, thus the error.
If there's any jumpers on the modem, it's time to move them around.
In Winfax, if you have the modem set to answer, make sure it answers after 4 or 5 rings. Check the "fax class" on the modem, it may be different than winfax thinks.
I use either FaxTalk Communicator or Bitware for my faxing. Cheers,
Jim

I was having the same problem with a friends "Campaq Presario 5150". After waiting two weeks for them to send installation disks, and trying to extract the files needed. I was also getting the error message "Can not read port name from registry". I also noticed the identifier(under modems/more info) PCI\CPOB114, in the setup info it stated PCI MODEM=PCI\CPQBOBC. this MUST match in the Child Info.(I did not know what that all ment but I did know that the I.D.was not the same.) After reading the section above about looking for jumpers on the modem to change the IRQ, I pulled out the modem only to find out it did not have any! What I did remember was that by installing the modem in a differant slot it may change the IRQ. After rebooting WIN 98 found the modem. Rockwell HCF 56K Data Fax PCI Modem#2 I installed drivers, checked the modem properties\more info and it is now working just fine, thank-you for the help. If any-one needs more info on this file I would be happy to up load it. It is VER:4.10 Rev.A Date 01-07-1999.
Thank-You

The drivers on my page may NOT work with Comcrap, thus get Softpaq 8897, or buy a new modem.
The driver 2.1.2.135b from my modems page, INCLUDES the emulator (PCI serial device controller) driver, so update the driver in control panel (the one with the yellow ! ) and point it to wherever you extracted the driver you downloaded.
Once you've done that, you must specify in DUN to use the new driver, because it will rename your modem, otherwise 630 error. Cheers,
Jim

I would love to start at your modems page (I need driver for Rockwell HCF 56K SpeakerPhone PCI modem) but cannot get Http:/members.cnx.net to come up.

Is this my proxy server banning access? obviously I am using the net at work as I cannot get access at home until I get the driver?

Or do I have to sign up to something?
