WINDOWS INSTALLER

[DAVID]

Have recently replaced my modem with a Sitecom PCI V.92.
Windows Installer now pops up a window approx. every
minute and appears to do nothing, other than disconnect me
from the internet. Has anyone got a fix to this?

[Noel Paton]

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Modem devices
Remove ALL modem-related entries in the Sounds & Multimedia branch
Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall appropriate drivers

See if that helps
