Hello,
I am running a Windows ME system with 256MB RAM and an AMD 1Ghz processor.
I wish to upgrade to Windows Xp and purchased the upgrade pack incl. Service
Pack 1. When attempting to install I received a report telling me that my
modem would be incompatible with Windows XP. Via Device Manager I was able
to download new drivers for my modem, but still I was met with the message
that it wouldn't be compatible with XP. I have a PCTEL Platinum V.90 modem.
I have searched for new drivers but haven't found the 'smoking gun' so to
speak. PCTEL have not been helpful either. My idea was to remove the
current driver, install an XP one and test to see if the install report
lists it as incompatible still. However, I need something to fall back on,
an ME driver. I'm uinsure whether an uninstall of the current driver will
remove it completely, therefore does anyone know an ME driver which is known
to work? I need the reassurance of having a back up copy so I can switch
drivers about to test them.
Can anyone offer any help with this predicament? I'm desparate to get rid
of ME, it's been woeful.
Thank you in advance.
