    Strange One!!!

    I am working on a old pentium 233. The modem got zapped. I replaced the modem and it gets to the windows screen and goes black. I have moved the video card and the modem to different pci slots, change video cards, modems ect.... If I leave the modem out the machine will work fine.

    Thanks for any help Keystone

    What modem make/model? Have you got a different brand to try?

    There must be more varibles to solve this equation.

    What is the O/S?
    What type of POST do you hear?
    Can you access a DOS prompt?
    Is the modem seen in the post Screen?
    etc....etc....

    Sorry I did not give all of the info. It was windows 98. I ended up deleting the enum in the registry. That fixed the problem. Thanks for making me think. Keystone
