Well, it looks like RC2 did not fix the modem driver problem that seemed to
show up in 5728 (worked fine in 5600). If I allow the driver to be
installed by Vista, and it wants to, the next boot will blue screen. If it
makes a difference, I have a Zoom PCI Voice FaxModem.

Bug it.

You might also, for S&G's, try an XP driver. The BSOD is likely due to a
driver issue, so sometimes taking advantage of the backwards compatibility
resolves that.

I tried the XP driver before and it did exactly the same thing. Since I
can't change the Modem.sys file, I am going to see if there are any settings
I can change. It does seem strange that when the drivers are installed, the
modem will work. But on reboot, it blue screens and the modem must be
uninstalled to recover. It seems a little backward to me that they have
broken something that wasn't broken before.

I have bugged it, so either they didn't have time, or didn't bother to fix
it in this build, assuming the bug report was received. Doesn't someone in
the Beta Testing Program know what bugs are being addressed?

Thanks,
Clark

Hi Clark,

Something about initializing the device is likely the problem, but whether
it's an .ini file or the .sys file is difficult to tell.

There's no public list of what's being or has been fixed and what isn't. Nor
is there one for technical beta testers.

I had the same problem here with the same modem a driver here Clark. Are
you installing as a dual boot with vista on a partition that is NOT C:? My
problems disappeared when I installed Vista as a dula boot to C: drive, I
had previously experienced the exact same problems as you when I installed
to V: drive. I think it may be badly coded drivers for the Zoom PCI modem
which are hard referenced to C: so if you installed to any other drive
letter you get the BSOD on reboot.

No, I installed on C:--no nonstandard installations, no dual boots. The
driver works fine until a reboot. I was wondering if I could change the IRQ
or comm port, but it appears that is not allowed.

I was also thinking about the unimodem driver for the speaker. If I disable
just that part, I don't get a blue screen, but I do get a boot into a black
hole!!!

I might try disabling the Soundblaster driver next to see if that effects
it.

It is too bad they didn't just leave it alone because it worked in 5600.

Can't say I've experienced any black holes, but I have to agree with you on
leaving it alone. 5600 is the most stable and functional release for my
setup, I can't believe that 5728 & 5744 are later versions and yet present
more problems. It does not bode well seeing as RTM is so close.
