I have a Zoom V92 USB Modem. The drivers load fine and is
communicating with no problems. When the computer is
turned off and restarted it appears to lose the driver and
cannot communicate with it. I am running 98SE and the
modem software supplies a patch as well as the drivers on
installation.

Any Ideas

Boot into Safe Mode by waiting until the memory and drive checks when the
system starts are done then either hold down the Ctrl key or tap the F8 key
several times before Windows starts.  Go into the Device Manager by
right-clicking My Computer, selecting Properties, then the Device Manager
tab; and remove all modems, all unknown or problem devices.  When you
restart the devices will be gone from Device Manager ... but the drivers
will still be there, Windows should then be able to sort the whole mess out,
usually without having to reinstall the drivers.

Hi
I have tried your idea and there are no other modems
listed and no 'unknown devices' I am wondering if it might
be the old 98 usb driver problem with certain chipsets but
if I recall it only occurrs with AMD processors & chips
and not pentiums.
