Obviously something went wrong during the installation of your modem. Try to uninstall or deactivate it in sáfe mode. If you can start your computer in normal mode after that, try a clean installation of the modem drivers.

And you should always post informations about your operating system.

i cant uninstall or install anything...in safe mode..but am thinking of a way to disable the system from installing my modem??is there a way for that?

i cant uninstall or install anything...in safe mode..

Of course you can, in the Device Manager, that's what the safe mode is there for! And that's also where you can deactivate your modem.

Since I don't know what Windows version you are using, here's the way to get to the Device Manager:

Windows 98/ME:

Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Device Manager


Windows 2000(?)/XP

Start->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager


Right-click on your modem to uninstall it.

thanks for help

Deaktivate the modem in safe mode (if not installed, the modem should be called 'pci communication controller' or similar). Then get the latest drivers for the modem from the HP of the laptop-manufacturer and install them. Or if you don't need it, leave it disabled.
