Hi...
At the moment, im having some rather big problems with my system, which is causing me a great deal of annoyance. I have tracked the problem down to 3 possible things.
The 3 things being the memory, my sound drivers, or my Modem.
Now, as ive ran tests on my memory its not come back with any viable errors, so i have to look at the other possibility. I am none too certain on the actual Sound, as its not really bothered me before, but, the Modem is another matter.
I upgraded the drivers on the modem to the new Thompson 3.1 drivers, being an Alcatel modem, and as Alcatel no longer support said modem/s. I have being getting Blue Screens which are now referring back to (What i think) is the actual modem drivers :
DRIVER_IRQL_LESS_THAN_EQUAL (Refers to USBPORT.SYS)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (Refers to PORTCLS.SYS)
This modem is the Alcatel Speedtouch Frog modem, ive had it since i started 512k broadband 5 years ago and its been with me ever since. At the moment im on BTo 2mb connection.
Now, i recall a thread a few months ago stating that the Thompson-branded Speedtouch modem has "issues" with Windows XP SP2, would you think this actually refers to the drivers themselves?
The only Alcatel Modem drivers i have, are those on Disc which i got 5 years ago, although i was looking around for backdated drivers and it said somewhere Thompson took over the manufacturing of this Modem back in 2001, so i dont know if Alcatel drivers would be good.
Failing this, i guess im in the works for a new Modem. People around have been saying to get a Router, but the fact i have never used one, or know how they are operated, leaves me with a slight sense i could fuck it up configuring said Router.
Suggestions?? Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeers
