Venting On The Computer Modem - So far it took me 3 days and nothing happen

C2C
Well my sister received a free computer (2.5 ghz pentium 4 etc) and for some reason I can't install the modem. I have dial up. I keep buying new modems and trying it for Window XP and it STILL doesn't work. Each company says compatible with Window XP but none of the modem is digitally signed. This the first time that I had problem with installing a modem and it really gets me vented. So many times I had to install/uninstall the modem and it would not change anything. So far it's been three days and over 10 tries of installing/uninstalling the modem and taking it out. Boy this pisses me off. mad.gif

Have you called up the people you purchased the modem from and asked for help? And how many new modems have you bought? I hope you're getting your money back if they're not working.

Well I haven't called them (I never do =/ ). I've tried Diamond and this one other brand with Supra on it but I forgot what it was called. Both are v92 bought from Fry's Electronics. When I check if it was digitally signed, it said it wasn't so I have no clue how to proceed. Digitally signed: compatiable with Windows. I shall go with my sister to Fry's soon to ask the people there what's wrong.

You should always call. If you've bought something and it doesn't work for you or doesn't do what it says it should (or what the seller claimed it would), then you're entitled to a refund or at least an exchange.

I forgot to add my sister returned both modems already with full refund from Fry's. The first two times she didn't bring me along as she usually does so I had no clue what went on. Next time I will force my sister to bring me along with her.

It would be easier to just call though, there is no need to ask your sister to take you. Either that, or go online and check the website of the company that made the modem and ask for support there.

You may have to check whether your communication port is working. Most modems work via the parallel lpt interface, if the lpt is not working, your modem may not work. I have experience with this before, the lpt port of my computer is simply malfunctioning, so I can’t detect the modem with my hardware manager in win XP. Do you have any printer using the lpt? You may check whether it is the problem of the port by using the printer…

Nope, there isn't any printer connected to the computer. I checked the port to see if it was malfunctioning just like what Windows told me to do and it said all ports were working fine. Good news...I'll just switch to cable soon since bro decided cable over speaker system for computer hehehehe.

  4. Mich Venting Again! - Yet another one of those days. (10)
    Well, here I go venting again. Got a new (slightly used) eMachine with twice the memory and 4
    times the hard-drive space. OK, so we have 2 monitors, no problem, right? Uh-huh! When I
    hooked the old puter up to the extra monitor, it couldn't handle the colors and resolution. So
    we have to switch the monitor to whichever puter we want to use. So I set out to configure my
    eMachine to ready it for transfering files from old puter. The eMachine combo read/write CD DVD
    drive doesn't seem to like the CDs I burned on the old puter to transfer stuff. Sinc...

    So, I had an issue a while back with my computer. The power supply had died. The computer sat
    dormant for about a month before it was fixed. So, last night, after putting the power supply in, I
    boot up the computer and everything is dandy. Then the processor fan decides to start making noise.
    Usually I can just kind of push gently on one part of it and the noise will go away. But no, not
    this time. The noise got, easily, 20 times louder. So I shut my box down and pulled the fan and heat
    sink. I fiddled with the fan for a bit.. took a sticker off.. adjusted a clip.. put i...

    Ok, this is my first offical thread I'm posting, so hopefully I'm doing this right. Anyway,
    this is a rant I've had for a few years now. Being a fan of horror movies, I tend to notice
    things like set design, storyline, and just over all film value. I've been watching more modern
    films and I've been wondering, "What in the world has happen to modern day movies?" They
    don't even really build sets any more, just grab a CGI guy put your actors in front of a
    green/blue screen and your good to go. I can understand for some sets, but not all of them. ...
  14. My Computer Teacher - Used to be cool to me, but now just annoying (9)
    My computer teacher is a smart guy. He went to Binghamton University (in NY State, part of the State

    class (he does sound dorky in some of my classmates' opinions) that I don't learn anything
    in because I know almost everything he taught so far. But lately he's been bugging me. Ever hear
    of Foxtrot puzzles? If not, Google it, and come back when you know what it is. What I am saying is
    that he is making up do one. He gave us a bitmap of one, and expects us to do...

    get to me. "There," "their," and "they're" are three different words, with different meanings..
    please use them correctly. "They're going down there to have their car fixed".. something like
    that. Is it so hard to write and read simple things in the language you natively speak? Tonight at

    all time. Every site and every reviewer gave it 10/10 and better. high praise for everything about

    computer for all of my stuff. It's really annoying. I need to get a good math grade and KEEP it
    high if I want my computer back, but I have a test like once every 2 weeks, and I study! my math

    Today, just 2 weeks before my planed total system upgrade my video card finally died (more of a coma

    sell it not for a few $. But as it seems fate has other planes for me. I'm now running on a
    nvidia riva tnt2 32mb. I don't want to make any negative publicity for the company but I thought
    Leadtek is one of the top companies. Anyway this wouldn't hate the hardware part so much if it

    I used the wizard to import my files and settings. The only stuff that actually got transfered was a
