randy l Tl Posts: 5 USA | Posted - 4/19/2004 3:54:13 AM I have a '97 Sony VAIO PC, a PCV-130. It was a Windows 95 with a 98 upgrade disk. Got tired of messing with it and formatted the hard drive, then installed Windows 98se....... quite a feat for a new to PCs guy like me. My problem is it cannot detect my modem. I Used the Sonys original "Applcations Recovery" CD to reinstall the LT driver. When I did this, the LT WIN modem now showed up on the "Install New Modem" list of modem choices, but it asks for the manufacturers installation disk..... I never had a disk. he computer came with everything installed on it. Can I get this modem to work? Is there something I can download onto a floppy using a friends computer? I am stuck using my web-tv for now. Any ideas would be great. I would just go out and buy a fancy new modem, but fuds are extremely tight right now. Thanks. |
v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 4/21/2004 6:00:04 PM The LT modem doesn't get installed using Add New Hardware or the 'Install New Modem' function - it must be installed by running the setup.exe from the driver. If you've got an LT modem, the driver should include the setup.exe install program; you can also install the modem with the latest (or any) generic LT driver - www.modemsite.com/56k/ltwin7.asp Aloha!

randy l Tl Posts: 5 USA | Posted - 4/21/2004 6:06:03 PM I am a novice at computer stuff. How do I locate this driver, and when I do.... what do I do? Thanks for the reply. |
v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 4/22/2004 10:49:13 AM With a Premium Access Subscription, you can download driver from www.modemsite.com/56k/_ltwin7.asp Without - you can download driver from the Agere site - After you download the driver - a self-extracting .exe - you run it. Are you familiar with CONTROL PANEL ->MODEMS & SYSTEM ? Aloha! Richard. |
randy l Tl Posts: 5 USA | Posted - 4/22/2004 1:50:53 PM In system properties there is no modem listed in the device manager tab. Ports COM 1 and LPT 1 are listed there, but no modem. If I click on "modems" from the control panel, there is a list of modem manufacurers to choose from. I appreciate you staying on top of my situation. If funds were not so tight, I would just do the right thing and go get a new V90 modem..... probably simpler. Right now $30 bucks is a lot, and I need to eat. thanks again, |
v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 4/22/2004 2:33:34 PM Just download the 8.30 driver, put it on a floppy or something - and run it - it should install the driver and modem should then be listed. Aloha! Richard. |
randy l Tl Posts: 5 USA | Posted - 4/22/2004 2:36:59 PM Thank you so much. I will keep my fingers crossed. I will let you know what happens. randy l |
randy l Tl Posts: 5 USA | Posted - 4/26/2004 2:23:30 PM Up and running faster than ever. I hit over 49,000bps, averaging 46,000 with the Agere V90 download. I formatted the hard drive again, but without the modem installed in the PC case. After formatting and loading windows98se, I shut down the computer and installed the modem....... Long story short... The computer found the modem, I opened the floppy in the drive, and it unzipped and installed everything perfectly. Thanks for the help... I need all I can get. randy l |
hotrodtech Tl Posts: 1 USA | Posted - 5/5/2004 12:30:37 PM I have a dell inspiron I8100 laptop that disconnects me from the internet when i plug in the power adapter. When it runs off the battery it does just fine until you plug the power adapter back into it. I went to dell and updated the bios flash and updated the computer at windows update. OS Windows XP. Thank you for your time. Hotrodtech |
