    First thing to do is to end task all progs (except explorer and systray) . Sometimes one of them can be the cause of the port already open.

    Then i would delete all modems from the system, and reinstall yours. Modem usally goes to com1, but this can vary espically if your using a serial device such as a mouse.

    Try the latest drivers for your modem if it continues.

    That program running in the background is Rnaap. If, after you're modem has hung up and this stays running then you'll have to end task it manually.
