SYMPTOMS
When you try to set up a new internal modem using the Install New Modem
Wizard, the COM port for that modem may not be listed as an available
port.
CAUSE
Windows 95 does not detect the hardware in your computer each time you
restart it. The new COM port has not yet been detected.
RESOLUTION
To detect the new COM port, run the Add New Hardware Wizard. To do so,
follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Add New Hardware icon.
- Follow the instructions in the Add New Hardware Wizard.
After the new COM port is detected and you restart the computer, you can
set up the internal modem.
