bizarre adsl modem problem

[Gavin]

Hi,

I've got a sagem ADSL modem as supplied by the ISP. It's been working fine
with absolutely no problems.

Now, for no apparent reason, it is sometimes recognised by the computer or
sometimes not.

During boot-up both lights go out on the modem as usual, then they come back
on (normally) a second or two later. At the moment they don't. I have to
restart the computer upto five or six times until the modem works.

Once the computer has fully booted I cannot get the computer to recognise
the modem without restarting the system.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is here?

Regards.
Gavin

Please ,contact your ISP or the firm which you get the DSL modem from.

Happy New Year !

The answer to this was that i had changed the start-up settings using
msconfig and xp didn't like this and changed the settings so that the
computer booted into selective mode - which meant the usb drivers weren't
installing.
