I am working on a HP pavillion with w98 & everytime it boots up I get a ISDN error.
The system is currently using a simple peer to peer network connection for the internet. Checked out all of the system info and other programs & nothing about an ISDN connection. Any idea how to stop this error from happening, very annoying.
Thanks for any input

Here is the exact error received after windows login is complete.
--Microsoft ISDN Config Wiz---
***NO ISDN DEVICES WERE FOUND.
***PLEASE INSTALL AN ISDN DEVICE & RUN THE CONFIG WIZARD AGAIN.

Any help with this would be great

It must be in one of these 6 places...
In Config.sys or autoexec.bat,
In win.ini or System.ini,
in your startup folder, or in your registry.
For config.sys or autoexec.bat, go to the root of drive c:, and edit config.sys. look for anything to dowith ISDN. do the same for win.ini and system.ini (found in your windows folder) For your startup group, right-click on your taskbar. click properties, advanced,programs,startup folder, and temporarily take everything out(unless you know what it is). And as for the registry......if your not familiar, take caution!! click start, run, type regedit, and o.k. when it comes up, the first thing you have to do is back it up! click registry on the menu, export registry file. wherever you put it and name it, just make sure you remember, just in case!! then find your way to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run also look at RunOnce, RunOnceEx, RunServices. check these values for anything ISDN, and delete it.
I cant imagine that it would originate from any other source than one of these!!!
Good Luck!

Well I tried to find anything referencing a ISDN connection & there are none. I looked in the config.sys & autoexec.bat files, I even looked at them all through the dos EDIT.COM option w/o success. The only startup program listed in the folder is for an old Epson dot matrix printer.
Any other ideas would be great.
