Make sure that your internal modem is physically installed correctly in your computer. You will need to press the modem in firmly so that it is seated properly in its slot. When the modem is installed correctly, you will no longer see any part of the black edge. If your modem still does not work, with your computer off, remove the modem and reinstall it in another slot if possible. PROBLEM: My computer isn't recognizing my modem. Possible solution: You may be using an IRQ that is already in use. To work properly, your modem needs to be assigned to a free IRQ. Windows 2000 If you set your modem's jumpers to Plug-and-Play mode, Windows should locate a free IRQ, if one exists, for your use by your modem. If Plug-and-Play fails to install the modem, you need to determine IRQ availability. You will now see a listing of your system's IRQs and the devices to which they are assigned. If an IRQ is not present in this list, it indicates that Windows is not currently using it and the IRQ is considered available. If a yellow exclamation point appears over the modem's description, your modem is in conflict with another device. Either your modem or the other device will have to be reinstalled to another IRQ in order to resolve your conflict. If a usable, free IRQ does not exist, you may need to remove, disable, or relocate another device. Refer to that device's documentation for more information about removing, disabling, or relocating it. [. . . ] If it doesn't match, select the proper modem description.
