Don't laugh. On my last computer when I upgraded to Windows95 from Windows for
Workgroups 3.22, I couldn't use my modem at first. And it turned to be related to
animated cursors. It seems like the geniuses who wrote the device drivers for my
S3 based video card decided to ignore the proper address boundaries and were
stomping on COM Port 2. I could only use a modem on COM Port 4 because of my
video card!
