I started out to upgrade my computer with a new
motherboard and CPU. When I had done so, Windows XP
refused to recognise the new setup, so I had to re-
install Windows. Having done that,I found that I had
lost all the additional updates that I had installed over
two years, such as support for USB2 etc.
Worse was the fact that I could no longer use my external
modem (connected via the serial port) to access the
internet. When I ran the Setup dial-up connection
wizard, the option to set up a dial up connection had
been greyed out. As far as Windows was concerned, I had
a permanently connected LAN connection. (I don't). I
decided to replace the system with the original
motherboard. Once again I had to re-install windows XP.
This time, I still could not set up the dial-up
connection to the Internet. In order to get online and
send this message, I have had to install an older hard
drive that still had the Windows installation for the
original motherboard and dial-up connection.
Any suggestions as to how I can re-establish a dial-up
connection on the new motherboard/hard drive system?
Thanks
