GPL, Thriller, Modem Problems

Hi, after installing my new Thriller 8mg video card I got great fps in GPL and loved the way it looked, but when I attempted to get online I got a message that said "modem not turned on, in use, or not installed properly".....if I changed the display adapter back to standard VGA, then the modem works, but the screen looks like hell....and I want it all, GPL and a good looking display. Any idea what I should try? TIA, Ed Ed Go #2 and #88 " Suckin' Gas and Haulin' Ass "

sounds like a resource conflict..MAYBE...try device manager in control panel and look at each devices resources > Hi, after installing my new Thriller 8mg video card I got great fps in GPL

Which soundcard do you have - I had similar problems with an SB64 & later an SB Live where I had to disable the Legacy DOS support to make my modem work. (Also have Thriller) Tony

You could try setting the second internal COM port to COM4 instead of COM2 (in the BIOS) and set the modem to COM2. This helped me with a simmilar problem. -- Ren van Lobberegt, The Netherlands.

Thanks all for the tips, but sadly, my Winmodem is never going to work with my Thriller (per Hercules tech support) and so it is back on the bench....for now.Once I can s***this modem, I'll try it again.....See Ya at the track, Ed
