Something really stupid about my modem..!!


Recommended Posts

I'm having this problem with Probdis.exe "failed to initialize" DLL on windows shutdown..!

As described in this Forum ( click here )..

The solution described there just dosen't work for me !! I tried all that, but to no avail.

Also my 3cmlink.exe keeps failing on me almost every time i sign off from the internet. Why ..??

I've looked for a solution to that as well but, yet no help..! This didn't help much.!

But thats the kind of modem i've got:> U.S. Robotics #5699B internal win,fax,etc junker.!!

Could someone please help me with this..?? Nellie, I sure could use your help on this one. ( Anybody.? ) :unsure:

Windows 2000 pro.. ;) Thanks.

Not sure if this will work... but it is worth a try.

Uninstall the modem and then shut down. Remove the hardware from your computer completely and reboot. Then follow the correct procedure for installing the modem, so if you have to install the software/drivers first then do that and then re-install the hardware.

Just an idea, try typing this in a command prompt "CACLS <full path to .dll or .ocx(Probdis.exe)> /E /G BUILTIN\Users:R" or just enter these two commands to make every dll and ocx file readable.

CACLS %systemroot%\System32\*.dll /E /G BUILTIN\Users:R

CACLS %systemroot%\System32\*.ocx /E /G BUILTIN\Users:R

Tell how u made out with this.

Well crud, I tried this a while back and now the problem came back again.

Not really sure if this solution actually fixed it or not, I tried doing it again but to no avail..

I also tried nellie's suggestion and did the un/re-install thing but it's still a no go..

Can anyone make some more suggestions to me so i can try something else.??

Thanks.. :rolleyes:

Not of direct help but, if I were the owner of any piece of hardware that gave me the run-around like this, said hardware would have been thrown a very long distance by now and replaced with something that worked properly.

If the modem is within its warranty period, get it exchanged for another one which functions properly.

I also feel that US Robotics should be taking more interest in your problem - it may well affect others.

Well this is like the second or third one now and they only seem to work so-so good for only so long, You know , " Just until the warrenty runs out.?? "

Yea their idiots, I've e-mailed them several times and they always tell me the same thing.. :angry:
