Re: OT: A computer annoyance - help wanted!
If you have another computer, try using that to connect with the same modem. If it works in another computer, re-install windows.
Send off for a LiveCD, and try connecting via the modem with Linux. If it works through Linux, either use Linux or re-install windows.
If it still locks up, you can get modems for under $10; try replacing it.
