Re: Formatted hardrive no driver for modem Kate 12/30/2008 7:33:13 PM I havent a clue he says he reinstalled everything from the xp disk that came with thte computer by doing a complete reinstall, I have started a complete reinstall myself just to be sure but as no internet I cant access sp's. I have access to internet on my laptop could I download sps onto a disk on my laptop? I am running vista though. "Unknown" wrote: [Quoted Text] > If he reformatted did he reinstall everything?

Re: Formatted hardrive no driver for modem "Unknown" <unknown[ at ]unknown.kom> 12/30/2008 7:43:05 PM You should have a modem driver. It should be on a CD included with the router when you purchased (obtained) it. Did you get the router from your ISP? If so, call them. They are very helpful.

Re: Formatted hardrive no driver for modem _db_´¯`·.._><)))º>`_.._. 12/30/2008 8:27:29 PM perhaps, there was an initial problem with faulty hardware and it induce the idea to do a re-install. for example a faulty modem could destabilize the o.s., causing it to stall and act unpredictably. also, most people don't realize but not all drivers are provided by microsoft and there are proprietary drivers that are only provided by the computer or motherboard maker. perhaps, there are updated drivers that have been recently issued by the maker. if the modem is still not functioning, then it is not uncommon that this occurs, especially with built in/on board modems provided with the motherboards. perhaps utilizing an external modem or adding a new modem card to the motherboard may need to be considered. -------------- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> "Kate" <Kate[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:38A203D8-6BED-44BF-BB90-EEE9CFAB7970[ at ]microsoft.com...

Most computers were shipped with an XP installation disk and a special driver disk.. Determining how to use the second disk can be tricky. At least, the one that Dell shipped with my computer was not real easy to understand. Jim
