Hi. I finally got my new system put together last night and I tried to install internet on it. I installed AOL(ya dont tell me how bad it is) and thats where my problem started. I installed XP Pro with SP 2 on it and when i connected my DSL modem to my comp via USB nothing like "new hardware detected' came up I thought its nothing special, so I went on to logg in to aol and I do "detect modem" and it doesn't see it. I called AOL and they gone through many different steps with me and nothing worked. According to them its a "hardware problem." My mouse and keyboard are connected via USB as well, and they seem to work fine.
So far I used the modem on my old comp with Win XP Pro(w/o SP) and I'm thinking its the new security additions that might be blocking my aol connection (like firewall, which i turned off btw). Does anyone know what can cause this?
Here are my specs:
DFI LanParty nF4
amd athlon 3700+
eVga 7800gt
1GB of OCZ Extreme Series RAM
I'd really appreciate any help, any suggestions that you guys might have.
