I have a mess and need some help. I am definitely not a hardware expert so
please be detailed in your response (if you can help me).
I have an older PC that I want to set up for my husband to use for e-mail.
I used this PC for 5 years and was able to dial-up with no problems. It has
basically just been sitting for 3 years. I don't know if this is a factor
but we moved 2 years ago and I changed ISPs since we moved. Here's what it
is:
Dell Dimension XPS P120c
96 mb RAM
Windows 95 4.00.950a
3Com US Robotics 56K Win Int (winmodem)
I could not get it to dial-up, messed around a bit with it, so decided to
re-install the modem (not a smart thing to do). So when I reboot and it
says it found my modem, it asks me if I want to install drivers. I put in
the CD for my modem. When I say yes, none of the options are for the modem
referenced above.
When I look at my hardware list under Ports (Com & LPT) I see:
Comm Port (COM1) - has a yellow ! - device causing a resource conflict
Comm Port (COM2)
Printer Port (LPT1)
I think there was a COM3 and COM4 before I removed the modem.
Can any of you experts help me?
