Did you check the Microsoft site prior to upgrading to see if there were updated drivers for your modem? One problem with jumping between operating systems is keeping up with the drivers for it all. I would suggest seeing if you can track down some new drivers for your modem, and saving a copy to your desktop before trying XP again (just in case).

And as for downgrading to 98, again, keep in mind that drivers will most likely change for the modem. Check the manufacturer site, and see if they have downloadable copies there... if not, check out http://www.driverguide.com. They normally have a copy of just about anything you can think of.

And as for the CD creator software... just a little side-note (totally unrelated to the actual problem). Check out a program called Nero. It's compatible with almost every CDR/CDRW, and has versions for all Windows releases. I find that it's much easier to work with, and burns a lot more dependably than the actual programs that came with my CDRW.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything, and I can add you to my IM and help talk you through some stuff.

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye?

Subject: NCR - computer question

Okay..I need an opinion here..I borrowed a friend's Windows XP disk so I could upgrade my computer..yeah yeah I know technically its illegal..but oh well..anyway, it ran into some major compatibility problems with my computer..it wouldn't run my Norton Antivirus..no big deal, I can get something else...it wouldn't run my cd creating software..I use Easy CD Creator 4..no problem, I would have just had to upgrade to 5..but once I had XP installed..I tried to sign on, I couldn't, I went to check my modem properties..it said I had no modem installed, so i went to go ahead and install my modem, it wouldn't detect it at all...I tried everything I could possibly think of and nothing worked..according to XP, I have no modem on my computer...so in my aggrivated state, I uninstalled XP and got my computer back to the way it was before..so does anybody know why I would have such a problem..I even went to microsoft's website and I couldn't find any info...but I have decided that ME is just being a piece of shit right now all of a sudden..and I was thinking about downgrading to 98..I have a Windows 98 upgrade disk I used when I had my other computer. This computer came with ME on it. But will I be able to downgrade to 98 without any major problems? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
