Oh wow, for sure.... yrag has consistently given this kind of assistance to many, many people. I thought for sure he must be a journyman or something!

yrag.....China is right [a rare occurrence ]...consider it done...

I'm always right!

'you're'

Just for a follow up.... still working fine, even rebooted. Things seemed faster so I did a speed test, and it more than doubled (I was thinking cable was nice, but not THAT nice... now it is THAT nice!)!



...of course it could be just a good night for surfing.

It's baaaaaaaaaaack! I was only able to connect via netscape again. Looking in the task manager, the modem was not there but it acted like it was. I went to config sys, and the modem was unchecked. I thought it might work to "reset" it, so I checked the box, rebooted, unchecked it, rebooted. Problem remained. I went back to config sys, and the box was still checked! So I re- unchecked it, re-applied that new setting, rebooted. STILL checked. Now, I have it unchecked but I have not rebooted.

Why does that modem keep coming back in the startup?

Have you disabled it in Device Manager? If that doesn't work physically remove it from the box! That's what I did with mine when I moved to DSL.

Fuzzy is right...Windows keeps detecting your modem...you need to open case and remove modem card(be brave, it's easy). Shutdown and turn off power, touch metal case before the card...take out retaining screw and pull card out. Close case and fire it up..

... does it say "THIS IS THE MODEM CARD" right on it??????

Look at the back of the case...the one with the phone jack is your card..

Whoah! This IS like a mystery novel.

To be continued......

ah... OK.

um.... I don't have a good workspace right now, maybe later on today. Then I will do it, and tell you about it. Thanks.

/me has also to stop shaking .... that starts happening when I think about going inside....

Be strong...we're here with you.

Be strong...we're here with you.

The first time I opened the case to put in a memory chip, I sweated so much and shook so hard that i just closed it and took it to the shop. The guy there was baffled by my desktop configuration, said the computer was FRIED because it had no desktop icons. We fought, I pleaded with him to just give my machine back since I knew it was fine and I didn't want them to break it. The supervisor finally sent him away, and they put the chip in.

The second time, I got the chips in after many tries. But i still shook.

um... after I get it out, I will need to know how to store it in case I one day would have to go back to dial up?
