Sounds as if you have a corrupt registry.

Your best bet is to do an in-place re-installation of Windows. For the steps to perform this action, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315341.

Otherwise, your only recourse is to dig through the registry and remove all references to the modem and software.

I've had to walk in and fix a lot of systems after the Telco's staff mess them up by using the A/DSL modem CD. you don't need to use it at all other than for the Manual, you just need to address the modem through a HTTP:// address.

My only reliable solution was to pull the HDD from the computer save the data and then do a clean install. It's really the only [b]Long Term[/b] fix for this problem. Every time I've done an In Place reload of Windows it seems to work OK for a while and then I get called back to fix it properly as something gets left in the system to muck it up again.
