ID: Q193393


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95


SYMPTOMS

When you reinstall Windows 95 on a computer participating on a LANtastic 7.0 network with modem sharing enabled, modem sharing may no longer work. Also, Device Manager may display an exclamation point in a yellow circle next to all virtual COM ports.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, remove and then reinstall the LANtastic 7.0 network client. For information about how to do so, refer to the documentation included with LANtastic 7.0 or contact Artisoft Technical Support.

NOTE: Do not use the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel to uninstall LANTastic 7.0. Doing so results in the loss of all customized settings (for example, user databases).
