| 350172 | 2005-04-29 06:42:00 | Hello to you all! I have installed w2k for my neighbour and have now troubles with modem drivers. I had it going ok and then constantly it won't connect or it says no dial tone or just not finding the modem... just a pest!. When I want to install the driver it does not like to install(no digital signature). It is a Lucentwin modem. I looked on the net and it seems to me quite difficult to find the appropriate. Has anyone had such experience with that? Any hints? Thanks Gion :mad: |

| 350175 | 2005-04-29 08:35:00 | I have installed w2k for my neighbour and have now troubles with modem drivers. Was this a fresh install after a reformat? If so, did you install the motherboard drivers? |

| 350176 | 2005-04-29 08:53:00 | As stated, make sure you have the correct modem driver (.inf file) for win2k. I wouldn't be too bothered as to whether win2k complains that it is not an MS signed or certified driver, just click out of the driver signing dialogue box or choose to install anyway (whichever option it gives you. A handy web site for modem issues is Modem Help (http://www.modem-help.com/). You may want to use Firefox with Adblock enabled, there's an annoying sponsers advert. BTW, make sure you apply SP4 (MS Service Pack 4) before hitting the net if the installation CD is not already slipstreamed with it, then hit MS updates for the April batch. |

It does sound like driver problem as it sometimes works and then not again. I will post info as to how I get on. Gion |

| 350179 | 2005-04-29 22:03:00 | reformat: no drivers installed for motherboard yet Do that first and it may fix your problem. You may also find yourself with lots of other problems if they are not installed. |

| 350181 | 2005-05-05 17:27:00 | Hello again The computer is an IBM Model 2169. I found some information about the problems created . As mentioned before I did format the HDD and instaled win 2000. The original was win 98SE. With this recovery CD that I had in my hands while installing win 2000 I just did not know what to do as I had not the information yet. Here an extraction: "Using the IBM Product Recovery program on the Product Recovery CD(s) Make sure that the Setup Utility is set up to use the CD or DVD drive before the hard disk. You can view or change the startup sequence by choosing "Start Options" from the main Configuration/Setup Utility.If you need to obtain a Product Recovery CD for your IBM system, please contact the IBM Support Center. Please note that there may be a fee involved.Note: All personal data in the computer will be lost during the recovery procedure." How do I use this Recovery CD best now as I need to reinstall the necessary drivers so the machine works properly? What does it mean all personal data; also the newly installed programms? Would be very nice if someone could help me on that? Thanks Gion |
