Modem Installation Error
I installed a modem and installed the drivers and everything. I try to connect and it says "Cannot open port due to device failure". I went into control panel and went to the modem and went to diagnostics.. it showed the modem on COM5 which is correct. I click on "more info" and it says "port is already open" and quits out. Anyone?
