Shoot your computer! Then upgrade to XP. But really, you should be able to
get your modem to work with ME. That is unless for some reason there is no
ME driver available and the 98 driver doesn't work. Have you checked the
manufacturer's website for an ME driver? Also, have you checked your Device
Manager? If not, right click on your My Computer icon and select
Properties, then the Device Manager icon. You may see your modem listed
with an error under the Modem category or listed as an unknown device under
Other Devices. If so, click on update driver to install the driver and make
sure that it points to your modem driver disk or cd during the driver
search.
