I thought I could help setup this system, but I was unable too, couple of damn things that just won't work.

Heres his setup:

Abit Ka7 - 100
athlon 700@700
Aureal Sound card
v3 2000
128 pc 133 mushkin
lucent winmodem
4 gig HD

I got everything hooked up except for the Modem and Soundcard!

He didn't want to do a fresh install because he still has a lot of stuff that he can't back up, so we used the current windows system that he was running. I know this was a bad idea, but its what we had to work with!

1) In the System Devices there are two Direct Memory Access devices installed, one has a conflict saying the certain vxd cannot load the drivers properly. I'm at a loss at what to do here.

2)I first decided to install the winmodem. It installs fine, but windows doesn't detect it when tyring to dial up his local isp!? When I check the info of the modem it says its not properly installed. Its installed on comport 3, but in the comport section it only goes to comport 2. Everytime I try to add a comport, so I get a comport 3, I get the bluescreen of death with a vxd error!

3) After I was unable to install the winmodem I tried installing the soundcard on its own. When I install the drivers I just get the blue screen of death.


HELP HELP HELP! plz Thank you ahead of time!

One thing I have done, with some success, is delete everyting in device manager. This must be done in safe mode. a reboot will detect all devices. This is not a guaranteed fix, but it has worked in the past.
