| 701080 | 2008-08-28 19:42:00 | I am running a new Toshiba Portege with Vista Business. I need to install a dial-up connection utilising a USB modem BUT it doesnt recognize the modem. In fact it doesnt even recognise the internal modem that is on the laptop. I can see both modems in device manager and query them. Have uninstalled and reinstalled them and all seems fine until you try and set up a dial up connection when it comes up as no modem available? Thanks for any assitance as is very frustraing. |

| 701085 | 2008-08-31 09:16:00 | This applies to Vista also (the file referred to, also exists in Vista) . microsoft . com/kb/150619/en-us" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com How to rectify the problem is another question, perhaps do a search of your Vista install (or recovery) disk for the file and reinstalling it (in the original place after renaming the old file); sounds as if your Vista install may be damaged, possibly a repair or reinstall may be needed (you have made/burnt your recovery disk/s?) . Or perhaps use System Restore (go back a restore point or two, see if that helps) . From Toshiba site (not specific to your machine, read the manual first!): FAQ - 16040706 How Do I use the Recovery Disc included with my notebook? NOTE: Please ensure you have backed up all important information from your system before proceeding with this process . ALL DATA will be erased on the Hard Drive if you proceed . a . Please insert the recovery disk into the CD/DVD Rom and Switch off the machine . b . Repeatedly press the F12 key as you turn on the machine to display the boot menu . c . Select the DVD/CR ROM option from the boot menu d . Follow the step by step instructions e . For further information please refer to the information from your user manual . If you own a Satellite A200 or Satellite P200 use the following instructions to run a recovery on your notebook . Note these models come with a hidden partition on your hard disc drive . We would recommend making a back up copy of the operating system before beginning this process . a . Turn off the notebook before starting . b . Hold down the zero (numerical zero) key down . c . Press the power button to turn on while still holding the zero key until the loading files or ram disk image appear on the screen . d . Follow the Toshiba recovery wizard screen . e . For further information please refer to the information from your user manual . Dont forget to back-up your data first :eek: :) Alternatively, take it back to the dealer/vendor and complain, bitterly :badpc: |
