Why isn't my computer's modem or nouns working?

I own a fairly hot Compaq laptop, and I was trying to connect to the internet and it newly froze, and now the modem and nouns don't work. It doesn't even list them within the Device Manager! I tried system recovery, but it still doesn't work.


Answer:

Two things to check on

1. In the Control Panel click on the Phone and Modem Options (classic view) click on the modem tab and see if a modem is planned. If not click on the add button and a wizard will try and tag on the modem back. If it is nominated click remove and then re-add the modem. After it is installed close the box. Now Reopen the phone and modem option click on the modems tab and double click on your modem. Your modem's properties box should open click on the diagnositics tab and click on the Query modem button- After a short hang around you should see the results displayed. Scroll down and see if one of the results (ATI2) shows success. If it does later your modem is probably OK.



Go to the device manager and see if the modem is very soon listed. it should be if the above assessment was successful.



2. Now delete the ancient dial-in shortcut and create a new one.



This will fix most dial-in modem problems.
Modem? As within dial-up? Wow, do you really find that adequate for today's high-bandwidth network? I periodically romanticize going back to dial-up, but the romance is summarily shattered as soon as I remember the grueling pain.



To answer your examine, your easiest solution is to backup your data and install Linux. If you'd a bit stay with Microsoft for doesn`t matter what reason, rear up your data and reinstall Windows. You should never trust the manufacturer's non-attendance install anyway.
