I reformated my dear mothers machine and re-installed windows for her...
first i installed xp for her and her computer ran very slowlyand so i
reverted back to Win Me for her...however, prior to the re-install her modem
would connect at the maximum speeds possible...
then with xp the modem would always connect at low speeds like 12000, 14000
and 16000, no higher when the modem is capable of 56K...with th reinstall of
Me, the modem would do the same thing.... i ripped the modem out and put in
the modem i had in my computer and the computer then would install it for
Com3... the modem should be for com1..the computer tried to dial but would
never find a dial tone... so i gave up on that modem...it wouldnt not let me
change the com port it was assigned to...
Anyway after reinstalling yet again so i could let it use the original modem
(mysteriously on com1) the speeds remained slow.. I am at a loss why I
cannot get this modem to connect to her ISP any faster.
Help is appreciated.
regards,
Clint
