Other hardware that can be disabled
Other hardware that can be disabled on your system might be what
are referred to as "Built On." If your Motherboard has a "Built On"
Modem and you have upgraded your Modem you might want to see
if it is disabled.
Perform the following steps to disable a "Built On" Modem.
1. Reboot your computer.
2. When your computer is going through its POST
(Power On Self Test) enter into your BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System).
3. Under the heading "Integrated Peripherals," look for
a setting "Modem COM Port."
4. Change the setting to "Disable."
Note: Only disable your "Built On" Modem if you
know that you have upgraded your Modem, you
have had a Broadband connection (Cable/DSL)
installed, or if you do not use it to connect to the
Internet. Disabling the "Built On" Modem will make
it so it no longer functions, until reset to "enabled."
5. Go to the heading "PNP/PCI Configuration."
6. Make sure the setting for "Resources Controlled
By" is set to "Auto."
