right, i didnt know i had a hayes 56k modem installed as id bought my pc second hand, id had it undone, but couldnt see any indentifiers anywhere, the flash prog i used said it was flash capable so i upgraded the flash bios with v90 2.2 drivers and it stopped working, i took the thing out and on the underside it said HAYES in very big letters... i do believe that ive done it a little harm by doing this as the flasher wont let me go back to my old settings neither, any way at all to get the thing working again or did i kill it with extreme prejudice?
