| 409792 | 2005-12-02 21:46:00 | I have just formatted a win98 machine, all is running well but it wont let us set up dialup internet. In the setup the countries list is empty, and we can't move on from that point without selecting a country. I've never come across this before - any ideas? |

| 409793 | 2005-12-02 21:53:00 | That maybe the modem, not the dialup asking for the country. With some modems, the country has to be selected first. Go into control panel / modems. See if u can change the country here. Under the properties / advanced tab of the modem.. This modem here has the country bit under the phone and modem entry in control panel. Under properties/advanced tab. This is in XP tho. But 98 should be the same. |

| 409794 | 2005-12-02 22:22:00 | Thanks Speedy, but unfortunately we have an empty countries list in there too! | Bobble (3142) | ||
| 409795 | 2005-12-02 22:31:00 | Did you reinstall the modem drivers? Or did the drivers reinstall after you formatted?? If not, that maybe why nothing is showing under countries . |

| 409796 | 2005-12-02 22:36:00 | Somtimes things like that are caused by viruses/worms that dont want you to conect to the internet but since it has been formated i dont think so. :) | homer (363) | ||
| 409797 | 2005-12-02 22:50:00 | Yes modem is fully installed, and talking (responded to being queried). Drivers were downloaded and seemed fine... Might try another modem in it just in case. Definitely shouldn't have picked up any naughties, it's protected well, but ya never know! Thanks for your ideas. Still interested if anyone has any others. Thanks :) Bobble. |

| 409798 | 2005-12-02 22:58:00 | Hmm ok and whats the brand/model of the modem? Is it internal? external? |

| 409799 | 2005-12-02 23:13:00 | Are you doing the setup from Dialup networking and going to Make new Connection. I don't recall any reference to country list there, only Select a device and then Country code which you don't need as you don't use an area code with the phone number. |

| 409800 | 2005-12-02 23:17:00 | Nah some modems do have an option (after the drivers have been installed), to select a country. Before you actually set up the dialup itself. Like these 2 here, which are intel based. You select the country in control panel / phone and modem. |

| 409801 | 2005-12-03 00:50:00 | Sounds like you have the wrong drivers What model modem is it and what chipset does it have |
