well it all started about a month ago, i moved in with my gf, ditching my freedom for a life of slavery, ditching broadband for 56k connection, it all seemed pretty bleak, but now my computer wouldnt find the modem i had, i now have my gf on my back and my gfs mother on my back to get this fixed, so im in quite a jam, heres the problem.
i have a dynalink 56k external modem i had it working b4 i got broadband it worked fine, after having it tucked away for 9 months i have dusted it off and brought it back to life, or so i thought. im running windows xp, and i plug it in and install the drivers then i go modem properties then click on diagnostic or something like that and its ment to do a diagnostic to tell me my modem is working fine, but it says its not even there, i recheck everything plug it in and go from scratch and still no luck so i get another modem this one internal plug it in start up the computer and it doesnt even detect it, so i install generic drivers for it and still nothing the diagnostic comes up blank, so i go to hell with you, you dirty bastard, and format the computer thinking im so smart and everything gets fixed with format but no, even formatting the pc doesnt fix the problem, my computer just wont find modems, its like its shuned them for some reason, and i need to get it working so i can get the monkeys of my back, anyway if anyone knows anything that could help im open to ideas
