I cannot seem to get my modem working after reformatting. I reloaded my OS (WinME) but when I try to set up dial up networking it cannot locate the modem. When I try to use the manufacturer's disk to set it up, that program cannot locate my com port(s)? Yet the device manager shows both com ports and modem are installed and working properly, proper drivers installed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

A suggestion that I have for you is to download the latest version of drivers for your modem. We have had some errors occur on our systems due to conflicts with devices. The solution that we have found to work is to get the newest drivers for the devices not responding. It has worked great for us. Good ole Windows! :-)

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks, I tried that but it didn't help. I actually was able to fix it. I found the uninstall program that came with the modem. Previously I had been removing it with windows and it didn't work. Must of left some registry entries because when I ran the modem's uninstall program I was able to add it back correctly.

Had similar problems on Compaq 5330 when updated with clean install from OEM 98 to ME and lost both vdoe and Modem Drivers for Compaq. Could not locate on Compaq siet until Stan Cordy at Compaq directed me to some Compaq SoftPaqs, not specifically listed for my model or ME operating system.
Down loade them and they worked- SP15412- Presario Conexant HCF V90 %6K Data Fax PCI Modem Driver for Windows ME.
Had lots of other stability issues with ME and finally opted for double install of wWin98SEon first partition and Win 2000 Pro on second. Love the Win 200 Pro and use it almost exclusively without any driver updates or blue screen.
