OK, a co-worker of mine asked me to look at her computer. She said that the computer isn't going online and she has dialup. She said it started after her son installed a program that got rid of sbybot's and adware. They then uninstalled the program and, of course, the internet still didn't work. I took it home, did some research and figured it had to be a spybot that attached itself somewhere messing something up and then, when the program was uninstalled, it was permently screwed. So, I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP thinking that this would fix everything. But, it didn't. I have since moved the modem to different slots and tried another modem and it still says it is not getting a dial tone. I've pretty much have given up so I come to the great minds of the BBS. Does anyone know what is going on so that I can fix it? Lots of thanks in advance.
push the phone cable into the modem jack harder. (and make sure it's the correct modem jack) ugh... modems.... I remember being excited about getting my 300 baud so that I could log onto BBS's (back before the internet)... don't miss 'em -- droxford
