40 modems!

Something I've not seen before. On my win 7 pc, which is a brand new build. I.e. built fresh on Friday, windows has installed my fax modem, then gone on to install it a further 39 times.

In other words, in device manager it shows 39 Intel 536 modems, obviously there is only one on the motherboard.

I can uninstall the modems & have done and also tried removing it from the mobo, then scanning for hardware changes, but as soon as it goes back on, windows finds it again & installs it over & over. This is to all intents & purposes a new out of the box box in o/s terms, fully secured & really just used with MS office, mail & firefox.

Any ideas? It's not a problem, I've seen before. Fax modem card itself?
