I have an Asus P4PE with a 3.06 Ghz P4 running WinXP Pro SP1. I have a
USR5686E attached to Com 1. Win XP recognizes the modem, the XP modem
diagnostics run fine and the modem works for faxing and Internet
access. However, the USR Control Center software, the USR modem
identification sofware and USR flash utilities do not see the modem.
When I start Control Center it continues to try and detect the modem
until I kill it with the task manager (it hangs). Control Center will
find the modem if I set the compatibility to Win98/ME, but then it
hangs when I pick the configuration option.
This 5686E is properly identified by Control Center on another machine
running Win XP, and when I tried a different 5856 on the "problem"
machine, it wasn't detected either. I've upgraded drivers, software
and firmware, changed countless settings, played with the bios
settings, swapped cables, but no matter what I do, Control Center
won't "see" this modem on this particular machine. Any ideas or should
I just forget about using Control Center on this one machine?
Thanks
