I still get the message that it wants the "SoftwareModem" though. I am getting a message on startup wanting a password for "Microsoft Networking". I checked and I have a lot of network devices active in the device manager. Could there be a conflict or something?? I will want to be able to get online with another computer on the same router.
Update*** I had the VIDEO driver problem too in the other forum and when I "updated the driver" one more time, it reloaded the same driver, but the "softwaremodem" message went away. It just appeared withthe new sound driver, but went away with the video --- Thanks for all the help!
