Hi:
Just upgraded to Windows 2000 Professional from Win 98 on
a HP Pavilion 8500 Pentium 3 PC with OEM modem (LT WIN --
apparently a Rockwell HCF 56K Modem) and the modem now
works in very very very slow motion, but never gets to the
point where it connects with the Internet service provider.
The modem is automatically found and configured on COM3 --
a port that the PC apparently doesn't have, according to
the hardware listing. However, trying to configure it to
another COM port doesn't work, nor does trying to load
alternate drivers or trying to manually configure it as a
Rockwell modem.
Microsoft reports a problem with Rockwell HCF 56K Modems
because of a conflict with power management options. I
diabled the power management scheme but the modem still
was virtually at a standstill.
Does anyone have any ideas for a solution?
After going around for the last two days on this, I'm
thinking of upgrading to XP instead -- as long as XP
doesn't produce this same kind of problem. Does anyone
know the answer on this one?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
