Recovering the backup won't help if the problem was there at the time as
well. If not, then go ahead. Heck, won't hurt.
Another thing (they just keep popping into my head)... you can try removing
the modem drivers, shutting down, removing the modem physically, restart
the computer with no modem, then shut down, reinstall the modem but on a
different PCI slot, then restart the computer and reinstall the drivers. By
doing this, maybe you'll reset something that got messed up. By switching
PCI slots, might help your computer NOT reinstalling or reverting back to
the same corrupted files.
