First of all, hello to everyone! I still lurk here even though I have been using XP for over a year now, mostly looking for Ad-aware & Spy-bot update notices since the crusty old folks in the XP group don't seem to think they are an issue they should be bothered with, thanks to all of you,...

I have a Compaq Pressario, and recently I bought Windows 98 CD along with the Millenium Upgrade so I can have it work with a fresh copy without the garbage of Compaq. After I install everything, I tried to set up a dial connection, but to my surprise I saw that it was no modem listed. I tried...
