Motorola SM56  Modem
Problem for Motorola SM56 (SM-56-PCI) Modem

Motorola SM56 Port Open




By Ross - usenet poster

" "
I have the setup files to install the Motorola SM56 Internal modem and took
them all the way over to my friend's house to install the modem in his
machine.  I didn't copy the Virtual Device Driver Files MOTVCD.VXD,
SM56PCI.VXD and SM56PCI1.VXD as they were hidden or system files and I
stupidly forget them.  Thus when Windows detected the modem I ran through
the setup and it said files were missing which I had to skip.  I didn't
expect it to work and sure enough it didn't, everytime I selected the modem
and did some diagnostics on the port in control panel it said the port was
already open.  Is that because of these virtual device drivers? as I don't
want to go all the way over again and then have the same problem with the
port being open!

Hi, Mark,

My recommendation would be to boot your computer into Safe Mode, go into
Control Panel>System>Device Manager and delete the modem that is only
partially installed.

Remove the modem and reboot.

Power down and reinstall, physically, the modem, making certain that it fits
firmly in it slot.

Now, reboot and see what happens. I have seen modems in the past that had
bad Plug and Play chips and could not be installed, but they have been the
few exceptions.

You don't say if this is a software or hardware modem, and the only reason I
would ask is that a software modem will see the virtual communication port
(com port) on the internal modem first. That will be installed, and then the
modem files will be installed.

If you still are having problems after this, I suggest you visit this URL:

I wish you Good Luck, and please repost if you need additional help,
