Information
WARNING: The procedure you are about to follow to fix your stated problem involves editing the system Registry files. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems which may cause the loss of data, and may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Neither Toshiba nor Microsoft will guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry.

To create an icon on your desktop that will restore the registry to the most recently saved version, do the following:

1. Go to the Start Menu / Run command
2. Type "regedit /e restore.reg" (where restore can be any filename)

Double-clicking on the desktop icon will restore the registry.


Subject: At times it is desirable to identify (and change) the modem's default initialization string.

Go to Start and choose run. Type in REGEDIT and press enter. On the left side of the
Registry Editor box, click the "+" in front of:

+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+ System
+ CurrentControlSet
+ Services
+ Class
+ Modem
+ [xxxx]

where [xxxx] is the modem ID number: 0000, 0001, 0002.... To determine which ID is
the correct modem, highlight and open the modem ID number and see the DriverDesc
or Model key.

Highlight and open the "Init" key.

The last data key (usualy "2") contains the initialization strings for that installed modem:

Name            Data
ab (Default)    (value not set)
ab 1            "AT‹cr› "
ab 2            "AT E0 &C1 &D2 V1 S8=10 ‹cr› "

To Edit, highlight the proper data key (2) and double click. This will bring up the Edit
String box. Edit the Value data string and select OK when done
