this sounds like a job for an "offline" techy. the reason many "online" techies can't solve it is because they do not have access to your computer so all they can do is take guesses. i am very sure this is some kind of software problem because you said everything except the modem was working fine until you re-configured your computer.
if you don't get this problem fixed i'm willing to try to fix it for you. just install winxp and send me an "remote assistance" invitation to my email. pm me if this is what you want

If you don't install the modem at all, not even put it in the machine, do you still have the problems?

it kinda sounds like u have a resource conflict. have u went into device manager and checked what it says.

Why dont you try the following:
1) Remove the modem.
2) Install a clean copy of Windows XP (Delete all partitions, and recreate them, then format partitions using WinXP CD)
3)Once the Windows install has completed Install appropriate drivers (Video, Sound etc.)
4)Install SP1.
5)Reboot (Make sure you don't have any hardware conflicts in your device manager)
6)After you are satisfied with the systems integrity, create a windows restore point (just in case things don't go to well - Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore)
7) install the modem
Let us know how it goes.

do you have any specific MB drivers... especially for controllers. See if you HDD, for example, is listed as generic disk controller. some MBD are going back to specific driver info and come with a mainboard installation. I know back in the day, some MBD's we had to create the windows folder, copy the PIIX drivers over and then do a flat install of windows. Those days sucked.

I would definately go back to XP pro, it is much more stable
so it doesn't install the drivers? maybe the particular drivers you're using do not work, try downloading a different driver from [url=http://www.driverguide.com]driverguide[/url] and transfer it by floppy or something onto the PC with probs

check and see if the MBD manufacturer has any specific PCI and IDE controller drivers that you need. get on the other system that works and look it up online. I think its more than a problem with just the modem.

ah, looks like a HP riptide chameleon modem. Ugh, hate winmodems. well, try like apok said and install latest drivers for XP (modem) if that doesn't work, then check for controller drivers for the MBD>

Oi!!!
You have RE-INSTALLED the mobo drivers after the format have'nt' you?............and if you have, have you ensured that your pci modem is on COM3 or above (if on XP).....and is your moden XP compat? If all above is yes..then put your hand in your pocket and get a new one.....they aren't expensive.....and will save you many a headache....been there done that got the T-shirt (and the lost hours of my life that a few quid/dollars would fix in an instant)...time is more precious than poxy modem problems.

If you have a AMD you might need to install the VIA drivers.

I couldn't help noticing you said downloaded 98.. legitimately of cause :rolleyes:
You do realise in most countries that is entirely illigal?
