Hey,
I am "ulindel" with the modem problem, which incidenrly was not solved despite your kind efforts (& also lost my Smvitn ulindel identity !).
Soon after that WinXP will not load, but I had dual boot with win98 so I can contact you again with old configurations, just about...
When I try to reinstall XP it goes up to about 60-70% and shuts with a dreaded blue screen saying:-
"Problem detected & Win will shut down to prevent damage to PC, Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal ".
It continues with full page advice, which when tried repeats the same thing a vicious circle over and over again, trying to avoid reformating that partition and loosing all in my winXP side.
And will not go into SafeMode in XP.
Can anybody help? Thnx Ulindel
