Speedy's cleanup might help the OS functioning, but I doubt very much that it will make you hear the dulcet tones of the modem. Sweep's suggestion looks more likely.

I love it when someone comes along and suggests the improbable. Technology abounds with inexplicable problems which frequently confound the experts. But when a user of said problem actually confronts it, it's sometimes a pretty simple resolution.

Anyway, to reiterate... now that the auto-connect issue is resolved, why bother with trying to fix the modem noise.

541510 2007-04-19 22:54:00 Thanks Sweep. I tried that and it didn't work so I think I will have to get used to having no sound. Bevan (12149)
541511 2007-04-20 08:12:00 Thanks Sweep. I tried that and it didn't work so I think I will have to get used to having no sound.

OK. You may have a generic driver installed or your current driver may be corrupt. Try uninstalling the modem and reinstall using the drivers that came with the modem.

Agere used to be Lucent I think.

If you download Everest Home Edtion it will probably tell you which revision you have.

Post back with any further INFO or PM me.

I don't give up easily and would like to fix your problem.

I bought this computer early 2003 and it had a Lucent Win Modem and in September 2004 the driver was updated through Windows Update to an Agere version which worked fine up until a couple of weeks ago. I can not reinstall the modem as I didn't get a driver disk when purchased.

It irritates me when something stops working for no aparent reason but I am getting used to having no sound from the modem so I think I will leave it at that.

Thanks to all who have made suggestions, it has been an enjoyable learning experience.:)

541513 2007-04-22 05:37:00 Thats your prob. Never get drivers from the Windowsupdate site.

Whether its a videocard driver,modem driver, printer driver ...

Download it from whoever made it / the manufacturer.

Getting drivers from the WU site, will always screw it up.
