I have recently been confronted with the following problem: When I try to connect to the Internet (via a modem connection, with Win98) I receive an error message saying that the Microsoft Dial-Up Adapter is either not installed or installed incorrectly.

The modem dials properly, but the problem occurs before the connection is established.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the MS Dial-Up Adapter from the Win98 CD, but he problem still exists.

Any ideas?

M.R. Chambers,

This is common problem and yet tricky.
First of all, this could be caused by a corrupted modem driver. To reinstall it, you will first need to remove it completely. Shut down the system, remove the dial-up adapter and boot-up the system. go to control panel-modem and make sure there is no other dial-up adapter attached. if yes, remove it. Now, shut down the system again and install the adapter and boot-up the system. Windows will tell you that new hardware found and is installing in. Insert the modem driver cd and if ask to use new or current driver, select new. this should work if it is the driver which is corrupted. good luck.
