peter e Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 A short time ago someone on PCA forum requested information on dial-up modems and settings for a survey. When I clicked on "modem settings" in control panel to check mine I got the following message: Modem not installed properly. You should uninstall the modem drivers (using control panel > add/remove programs), restart and install it again. :unsure: And yet my modem seems to work fine and I'm reluctant to "mend it when it ain't broke". Can anyone advise me about this, please? Oh, i use Windows XP Home and the modem is a CNXT V92 data/fax/voice (whatever that is).RegardsPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter e Posted January 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Hi ellasIt's an internal modem. It came with the Evesham computer - about six months old. I've never had any trouble accessing the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter e Posted January 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Thanks for the help, ellas and madboy.I went into the Device Manager and it said the modem was working properly (which it is). I've a lot of work to do on the Internet in the next few days so I'll leave it for now. But as soon as I get the chance I will try to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers and see what happens.Thanks again.Peter(I posted this message earlier today but it seems to have disappeared - strange, eh!)

Guest ironman556 Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 If it's working and you're getting good up/download rates, I'd be tempted to leave it alone. If you want to mess and know the make/model, then you could see if getting new drivers does anything for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
