-=PCTechTalk=- Re: modem wont connect/cant userestore

Well, now I have to take all this back.  My modem is messed up once again!

It had fixed itself but started doing the same thing it did before, it 
changed to COM 4 and the one listed not present was highlighted, this time I 
uninstalled both of them.. Rebooted and the computer looked like it picked 
up another modem totally different than my GTW 92 one and I still could not 
connect..so I uninstalled that one.

I cant find any CD specifically for my modem but I do have my restore disk 
and a VPR Matrix Device Drivers disk, but im not sure what to do with hit. 
I did look at the files on it and saw GTW 92 info listed and read..but for 
installation it was saying to install the driver CD, I looked everywhere 
dont find one aNd dont recall having one before.

any suggestions?

Another thing is that I cannot get ANY restore points that will let me go 
back to those dates.  I dont understand that at all, it is very frustrating 
to me
