    Disable Type 2 Modem

    I want to disable this modem in my notebook permanently, as I never use it.



    I disable it in Device Manager, but it seems to come back "enabled", after I have re-booted my computer, or maybe when I do a sfc scannow or chkdsk.

    If I do an "uninstall" of the driver software, it still comes back, as the notebook detects the modem hardware.

    Disable permanently, as it was pointed out to me by someone in the vista forum that it may be causing a conflict.

    Thanks in advance,Hasiel.

    Maybe this will work
    How to Disable the Modem in Your Laptop - For Dummies

    If that does not work
    Uninstall driver
    Then go to Windows Automatic update and set to notify.
    When you are notified about the new driver, right click and hide, its done.
