 * }

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
Windows 95 cannot gain access to the communication (COM) ports for detection.

CAUSE
This symptom occurs if the Windows 3.1 communications application SuperVoice version 2.0b is installed in Windows 95 when you add a new modem to the system. This application copies a new communications driver called RHICOMM.DRV to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory and changes a line in the SYSTEM.INI file.

NOTE: The above symptom does not occur until you restart the system.

WORKAROUND
Using a text editor such as MS-DOS Editor or Notepad, open the SYSTEM.INI file, which is found in the Windows directory. In the [boot] section, locate the line that reads:

  Comm.drv=Rhicomm.drv Change this line to read:

  Comm.drv=Comm.drv Save the changes and then restart the system.
