Re: Telephony service will not start, error 1053

Hello Floyd,

Thanks for the response.
Sorry, but I could not find a more suitable newsgroup for this question. If
you know a better one, please let me know.

I've already deinstalled and reinstalled the modem with the latest drivers.
When you go into the 'Devicemanager | Modems' and you select 'Diagnostic'
and click on the 'Query modem' the modem will give a response and it makes
sense too! Re-installing Unimodem is more a Windows95 thing and not W2K.

In the event logs there is no info about this.

It looks like the TAPI layer is corrupted .

The strange thing is that I also get errors telling me that there is
already an installation going on: "You can only install one device at a
time". I could not find any info about this in the KB.......
