unable to initiate dsl modem

G

Guest

I have winxp home sp1, ie6, aol 9.0. I have gone through all the trouble shooting with aol broadband with dsl and they say the reason why their dsl modem's ready light comes on but does not stop blinking,and does not initiate a signal to my pc, lays with my system.All connections were checked over and over and I had Verizon come out and check the phone line and also verified that my dsl was activated. I'm here because aol can no longer assist me. I hope someone can here. In the file I give here there is a line that says, "prevent user from manually installing pnp devices". And further down the list a bunch of - ...location= " on the BD???". What does all this mean? Could these be the problem? I'm sure it is something I did wrong and aol just could'nt figure out,but tried their best. Could it be because I would always unplug the power cord of the modem when I was done, and used the "safely remove hardware", but forgot to? (I now know I was suppose to leave it on all the time.)Thats when the ready light started acting up. I use the usb cable that came with the unit, not ethernet, I don't have that port on my pc. Can anyone please take a look at the file and give some advice? I've been on this for 2 months now and paying for aol dsl that I have not been able to use. Jeanie

Hello

I had a DSL installation from Hell myself. Turned out to be that I had corrupted files. The computer was running XP pro perfectly, except my Ethernet would not connect. I had to do clean install of Windows XP Pro. Now it works great and the computer seems to be running faster. It was quite maddening as I spent over a week and several hours working with SBC tech support. If nothing else works I suggest you try a clean install. This means re format the hard drive and start from scratch. It is a lot of work but it may be your only solution. By the way I did try doing a Windows XP repair to no avail. Good Luck, Kris

Thanks for the attention on this problem. I feel alot better knowing I'm not the only one. I have another question. My pc came with winxp home already built in. And 2 restore cd's. Are these the ones I should use for a clean installation? I have no other cd's, just these.

Be careful using the restore CDs. They more than likely will restore
your system to the exact state it was in when you purchased it.
Anything you added will be wiped out.

If that's your intent, cool.
