Vista can't find my modem
I can't connect to internet by Windows Vista. I tried to establish a dial-up
connection, but Windows Vista can't find the modem. Even by giving the dial-up number and other login info, I can't connect to internet. Vista and XP are on different local disk and I can contact you with XP. I'm not sure what the modem is exactly (broadband, WWIS, DSL, etc.), it's a phone line modem with a speed of 56 kbps.

Since you apparently installed Vista yourself in a dual-boot, you need to get Vista drivers for your modem. Get them from the modem mftr.'s website.

The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR 3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.). Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers. To find out what hardware is in your computer: 1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer. 2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway) 3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor http://www.gtopala.com/ - System Information for Windows Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

Vista can't find my modem
Then, I hope that the advisor will help me to update my driver. Thanks for
your help. At least, I know that behind my modem, there's a driver. "Malke" wrote: LDL wrote: Where is the mftr's website? I'm not sure, I'll find it.
