Plug and Play Devices
Hi,
I installed a new modem which is plug and play. I also installed the ME driver for this modem. Windows ME does not recognize it. I have universal plug and play setup. Does anybody have any ideas how to recognize the plug and play devices. I also tried a NIC pci card and it doesn't get recognized either. Thanks |

Are you saying that if you open the Device Manager there are no entries
for either your modem or your NIC and no entries with a big yellow question mark either? BTW UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) has nothing to do with plug and play and the recognition of your hardware by your PC. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP mjw wrote: Hi, I installed a new modem which is plug and play.

Right. Windows ME does not come up Found New Hardware

What does the Device Manager tell you please about these devices?

They don't show up under device manager because ME doesn't
find them as new hardware after they're installed. Is it possible that something is messed up with ME?

Does your motherboard's bios see these devices?

In which case that is where you need to look to solve your problem. If
the bios can't see the devices and list them in the POST screen then the operating system won't either. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote: Nope. |
