Dissapearing Modem?
Hi .
I have a Sony laptop with an internal modem , OS Windows 2000.
Everything has been fine until recently. Like everybody else I have had my fair share of virus's, however they all now seem to be cleaned and I have had no trouble for a few weeks. But I now have a new problem. The laptop is working fine, close down overnight , start up to morrow, go to log on to the internet and the following message appears, "To use this facility you must have a modem fitted and configured" If you then go to device manager either the entire "modem" has gone out of the list , or, the driver has disappeared, either way the only way to fix it is to restart in SAFE mode and re install the modem and driver. It then works fine until you close down again. Then the same ritual is there all over again. If you have any ideas I would be very gratefull. Regards TOT.
