The modem on my Dell XPS400 (With Win XP) died a few weeks ago. (Made a noise like it was stuck and blue error screen everytime I tried to go online)
My grandson had a moden (unused, he uses a wireless router) and put it in, with a driver he got online.
Worked good, but the Modem On Hold (which had worked, and my ISP supports) no longer did. When clicked it said "No supported modem installed"
I looked around online and seems like it needed a V92 modem and the one I had in said V90.
I just got a Motorola 56k v92 Internal PCI Data/Fax Modem V.92. I looked at various websites about it first, and one of them said it could be used for Modem on Hold.
I put it in, even went to the specific folder on the driver CD to put it in from the one the enevlope said to use (the first time the CD auto picked up on a driver, and it worked but not the Modem on Hold) It still says "No supported modem installed".
Though it goes online. I have a Caller ID box on the phone line before the computer, that shows incoming calls (red light goes on the box) but I liked how the Modem on Hold popped up and actually rang, so it could be heard if I wasn't right in front of the computer.
Do I need another/different modem? New driver, or something to set up the Modem in some way?
I found some posts about this on this board, but couldn't find any real answers.
Thanks,
Carrie
