4100 - Blue Screen with VCOMM (05) 0000053A error

Our 4100 (purchased in Oct) with Windows ME is generating a blue screen error several times a day. The error is: VCOMM (05) 0000053A

While I understand this to be a com. device driver, we are not using a modem (however it is installed). Connection to the Iinternet is via cable modem. File and print sharing are in use for old computer to access printer and disk via 10/100 Ethernet.

No USB devices in use.

Has anyone else experienced this error and found a resolution?

TIA

    Belkin sells a great switch , model # F1U123 that can be used to connect
    2 computers to one printer. If connected to the internet via a cable modem
    file and print sharing should be unchecked to avoid being hacked.
    Disconnect the other computer and see if the blue screen problem ( better
    known as the blue screen of death) stops.If it does than the Belkin switch is the
    answer to your problem.
