Guys,
I have made lots of changes on my PC. Even unplugged the modem card when it was on and I am not sure if I burned it.
The thing is at first I couldn´t even start Windows NT (SP6). I had a message saying that there was an error on Explorer.exe (0XC00005) or something alike.
Anyway, I uninstalled my modem (on my own way) and I am able to start WNT with no problems. I presume the modem was causing a problem.
I tried to connect using it and had a message from my dialer saying that there was an error on the device.
I took a look and found out there are two places on my Control Panel where I can configure modems. One was called MODEMS and the other one (which doesn~t exist anymore) was called PCICARD MODEMS. Anywa, I made sure both configurations were the same, pointing to COM2.
I guess things are getting better. When I tried my dialer again the message has changed. I get 680: No dial tone.
The bad thing is that if I turn the laptop´s volume on, I can hear the dial tone. (Actually it's not a flat tone, it´s an extention tone. 0, needs to be dialed first).
Any guesses why it says there is no dial tone if I can hear it? The specific dialer or any other standard dial-up connections won´t work and I will get the same message.
any ideas would help me a lot,
thanks
