Recently my sister deleted files from her computer, Compaq of course and she reformatted C: and D:, which contained the info to restore the computer. The restore disk will not work, it keeps saying "CALL COMPAQ CUSTOMER SERVICE" Yeah, like they could help. Anyway, I found a WIN98 disk I had laying around and installed that and everything seems to be running fine except I can't install the modem. I keep getting an error that says "The installer cannot load the modem.cpl for the WDM Enumerator Device, please contact the vendor. I know the CPL is a control panel extension, but I'm not sure what the problem is. I installed the drivers but keep getting the message. I've removed the modem, restarted then shutdown and physically reinstalled the modem, but I keep getting the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

was there any error while you were installing the modem drivers?

Hey, thanks for the reply. No there were no errors when I reinstalled windows. I also have a conflict in device manager which I'm pretty sure is also a cause for the problem. I have a conflict with the PCI System Management Bus. All other PCI devices are installed and running great!

Try and get the most updated modem driver from Compaq. I think they have it in their site somewhere.

Hey, Thanks everyone for your replies, however I got ahold of a quick restore for Compaq, and now everything is back up and running fine, believe it or not.
