SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) to Windows 98 on a Compaq Presario 1065 computer, you may experience any the following symptoms:
  • The Presario 336-vsc modem included with the computer does not work properly, and Device Manager displays a "Code 25" error for the modem.
  • The computer stops responding (hangs) when starting Windows 98.
  • A mouse connected to the COM1 port stops responding.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, install the Presario 336-vsc modem driver included on the Compaq Quick Restore CD-ROM. To do so, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.
  2. Insert the Compaq Quick Restore CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and insert a blank, formatted disk into the A drive.
  3. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after each line

    <cdrom>:
    cd\cpqdrv\ccsd
    qurst5
    a:setup
    exit


    where <cdrom> is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.

MORE INFORMATION

If you install the Presario 336-vsc modem driver included with OSR2, Windows 98 detects the modem as Unknown Wave Device For Modem. This does not affect the performance of the modem.
