HI everyone, Im a frustrated computer person tonight ;( I was using my computer that is on dial up and had cut it off. Started it back up few hours later and could not connect. Message was coming up Port is in use by other device or modem is not configured etc...I called Earthlink and checked some settings, before I called them checked modem and had two listed same name but the one that was highlighted said not present, the one under that with the same name was on COM 4. Earthlink person said it should be on COM3. She told me to call my support (passed the buck)..but my warranty is out for that. So, I figured Ill try system restore, going back to an older restore point, Even though I had created on just last night,, it would not let me restore to any of theh earlier dates grrr....WHY NOT?? isnt that what it is there for? I removed the modem listing that said not present, the other one is showing in there on com 4, when i checked devises, it said enabled and working. Im on my other computer now on cable. Has anyone got a suggestion about getting the modem back to normal and why cant I go back to a restore point? thanks, frustrated christy "grrr.. -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
