K- so I have to open up the laptop to find the mother board-?!o_Oquote from Driver Guide; "This is not a modem issue. Most PCs have three or more PCI slots. The modem may be your only PCI device so you think you have a modem problem. It is really a PCI to mother board problem. Contact the motherboard maker. Microsoft has dropped the ball in both Win XP and Win 2000 by not providing drivers for the PCI controller. You will need to get them from the motherboard maker. Look for a brand and model on the board then contact the maker."yikes, I see a screw driver in my future...many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 it woulsd appear that this is a problem with the dial-up modem chip in your laptop ?If you use dial-up then it needs resolving.If you do not use dial-up then you can just disable the item in your Device Manager - it should have a yellow "shriek" against it.
