DarylF newbie Registered: 12/26/06 Posts: 7	Device Manager shows modem and is working properly Had the Trojan Horse Virus, but ran the cleaners and show no more according to AVG, and Symantec. But the IP software cannot find a modem, so I went thru the control panel to make an Internet Connection manualy. When I got tothe screen to selct the connection, Dial up Moden and Broadband was grayed out I am not able to select it. Any advice where to go from here? Tahnks Daryl

This is because the modem was not connected or powered on at boot time. To remedy, power on the modem and reboot. http://www.pngusa.net/ooidahs/OOIDA/modemissues.htm _________________________ Friends tell people how to live past 60.

I'm not about to try to reproduce the problem but there seems to be odd corelation problems occurring under XP that I didn't have under 2000 Pro. Go figure! _________________________ Why did I post this?

Hope you are not running two Anti-virus programs ie both AVG and Symantec (Nortons) at the same time, as that can really cause conflicts. _________________________ ASUS G74SX-Win7 Tosh Sat L650 Win7SP1 Acer 7720 Vista UltSP2 Acer Aspire 5517 WinSP1 HP Mini210 Win7(S) BB Playbook 32GB Acer Iconia A110 w/JB Found the secret to long life: Keep breathing
