Attempt #76/256:

After searching for: "Modem Problems with Win 7", a Modem Site popped-up with the statement that; most/all Modems/Routers at present, are not compatible with Win 7!
The suggestion was to try and install the Modem Drivers under "Win '98/XP Compatibility Mode", with no guarrantee that it would work.

Your woes are un-woed then?

Your woes are un-woed then? ;D

..not quite, Joe... :-/...!

For some unexplainable reason, I am now stuck in an endless loop of...>>

"To complete the installation, please restart your computer"....

..I've restarted it 150* times so far...

..and whatever it was that needed completing, still hasn't completed...apparently.... ...!

...and no way of finding out what wasn't completed!... ...!

....Ongoing process... ...!

Paul....Thank goodness for my back-up Win XP Pro HDD... ...!

* or more....probably... ..!

Latest edit:
At the bottom of my Task Bar was an Icon pointing to a Windows program; "ADI RAS setup application".
This was the program which kept instructing me to "Complete the installation, etc, etc..."...every time I fired up Windows!
A search on the net reported it as being an application? in the Windows Folder, associated with; "Modems"...(problem?)...!
As my Modem was finally working OK, I removed the 3 "ADI RAS" Files from the Windows Folder and dropped them into a new, empty Folder on my Desktop, (just in case)...
Upon restarting windows, the annoying "pop-up window" problem seems to have disappeared!

...hopefully...the App wasn't required?

Paul.... ...!

Tip: Whenever searching for Windows Files, its a good idea to tick the box; "Show hidden Files" in the "Windows Folder Options".... ...!

...another little Win 7 tip...>>>

If, like me, you prefer your Windows 7 Clock to display a 12-hour AM/PM time, (like the clock on your wall), instead of the daft 24 hours (Military time!..>:(....)

....give this a try.... ;)....>>>

Paul, I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face happily enjoying my fresh install of XP Pro. Nicely updated to SP3 and the likes. Just don't tell uncle Bill where I got it....

Glad things are starting to work again on your pc.

You lucky so-and-so... ;)...!

My FS 2004 is not at all happy with all this fancy new Win 7 malarkey!.... >:(...!

I am spending day after day, trying to get Win 7 to function reliably, instead of spending my time enjoyably flying around Sunny California with my FS 2004... ...!

My version of Win XP Pro is stuck forever with the original Service Pack (0?), so I cant install anything that requires SP2/3 installed!

I need a link to your supplier of fully functioning Win XP SP3's... ... ...!

Paul...still struggling with Win 7... ...!

Now my 17" LCD Monitor has given up the ghost this evening!... ....

...using my spare 17" LCD Monitor now...

...my life is slowly coming to an end... ...!

Paul... ... ... ...!

...must keep laughing... ...!
