Jos_2 Tl Posts: 2 USA | Posted - 12/27/2004 4:35:56 AM I got an E-Machines 633si CPU for free. It had Windows Millenium but would not boot. I installed Windows 98SE with my CD from my older CPU. Everything fine, but the Modem is not detected, and I have tried everything I know and then some. The Modem is a MR560LPM which apparently does NOT work with Windows 98. (how could that be?). I've downloaded updated drivers from eMachines and other sites, but no luck. I always get a "modem failed to respond" message, or a "port already open" message, to the point where I have managed to confuse myself. Yes, I have removed it, then reinstalled it, everything I have been advised to do. Either the modem card is bad, or something else is the problem. I don't know how to test the card to see if it's working, Any advice will be appreciated. |
