incompatible modem

[Mike]

I have upgraded from Win,98 to XP twice.
The first time I received Code 633.
I suggested to unintsall the modem first.
I did that, and wsa still left without the ability to get
on line.
From Win,98 I went to Microsoft Knowlege Base and
downloaded a certified modem. No difference.
Am I missing something or should I just loaod a new
operating system instead of just upgrading?
The XP cd cost enough, I sure would like to use it.
thank you

If modem is connected
4: See if the modem is conneted, if so, ensure that it is attached to Com3
a: Highlight it, and click on properties
b: Click on "Resource" tab to ensure it is not conflicting w/any other
hardware
c: Do this if modem is not connected to Com3:
Click on "Advance" tab, then "Advance Port Settings" button
Make sure "FIFO buffers...." is checked
Recieve and Transmit Buffer are set "High"
and COM Port Number, is set to COM3
