for hours upon hours i tried to fix this problem. i was online, and this little bar came up while installing lime wire, that was just a small window that asked for a port. i chose com1, and then it came up again, i thought maybe lime wire was looking for a modem, so i chose com2 this time. after downloading a java thing for lime wire, i was disconnected and now when i go to dial up, it says unable to establish connection, or the device is already in use or not configured properly. the modem was the external crative blaster 92, and then i tried an internal modem. it wont see it. it tries to install the creative software, but i tell it not to. i was on the net for 2 days just fine(new computer) but now its doomed. could this be spyware, because i just dont understand what happened. i scanned for spyware and viruses, via adaware and norton, found some things but didnt correct it. im using a school computer so i will respnd to anything tomorrow id imagine. PLEASE HELP ME! thank you
