I have Windows XP and a modem installed in my PC. When I try to add a connection and select a manual connection in the wizard the option to connect using dial up modem is not available. Does any one have a clue why the connection is not available? I tried another modem that works on another PC and still the same problem. Thanks

85% of modems do not work with XP unless you have the latest drivers. Many XP drivers supplied on modem Installation CD's were actually written using information supplied for the beta version of XP. Download the latest drivers from the manufacturersweb-site. Also, if you are using AOL on XP, then even a working driver may not work on AOL.,...you will again have to contact the manufacturers site.
