NTL USB modem XP problem
-
Last night, I 'volunteered' to upgrade a friends PC from 98SE to XP, a bad :( move! XP does not see the cable modem on startup, powering down/up the modem when XP is running will make XP to see it and then it works OK. I have seen reports that it could be a USB problem on the PC, has anyone had any experience of this?

I have one modem and my computer running windows xp. During the time that I turn my computer on without turnning the modem on too, the modem won't be detect and found in the Device manager of my computer properly dialog box. To solve it, I have to go to device manager windows and right click on my computer name and choose
Scan for New Hardware. Then my modem would be found in the list. On the other hand, you should check the modem model and try to find its driver on the internet for windows xp (if it is possible). Try to find the search result in the Microsoft Knowledge base support website.[^]
