With all my hard drive, usb drives troubles; this annoying thing has been on
the back burner. Everything seems fixed, knock on PC screen and want to see
if anyone has an idea for fix. Every time I restart the computer, I now get
the error message "Sorry the current modem driver is too old. Please try to
get the latest modem driver"

I have gone to device manager and it shows the modem working. I tried a
disable and then re-enable. I've tried the diagnosis and it says the modem
is working and communicating.

I tried to reinstall a driver from my XP install disk and it says I have the
latest.



I tried Google but everything for driver updates seems to be a scam to get
me to pay for a "free" computer/registry scan.



It is a Broadxent D13631 which is now part of Creative Labs, but when I
search them nothing comes up, current or in their archives files.

I don't use the modem at the moment but am anticipating a situation in the
future where I might need it for a short period of time and besides I'm
getting tired of acknowledging the error each time.

My last automatic windows update on 12/9 had about 8 different downloads and
I'm not sure if this started after that update or not.



Any thoughts?



Joe

How come you don't go the Website of the modem manufacturer and get the
latest driver. Or, just go buy a new modem and get a current driver with it.

Hi Joe

Still P I assume ?

I have never ever seen windows display this kind of Error Message:

"Sorry the current modem driver is too old. Please try to get the
latest modem driver"

is it windows giving you this message or is it an application that was
installed with the modem ?

Since the message only appears when you reboot it sounds like 3rd party
software (a dell application perhaps) that is checking the dates on the
drivers, you could check your task manager for such programs if they are
not displayed in your system tray (beside the clock)

there is another useful program for checking what starts up with your PC
its called HijackThis if your unsure of the readout post it here and we
can take a look at it.

Hijack this:

If you don't use the modem, then take it out. You have broadband or some
other form of high speed connection, the modem is useless. And, the driver
is old and not supported anymore.

OK, haven't used the modem in years. Dell has an accessory called driver
reset tool and I tried that also...forgot to mention it.
I ran hijack and here is the log:

Same guy that told me to disable my floppy because I won't need it. Came in
very handy today to boot into Dos and do the Bios upgrade.

Most machines sold today don't have a floppy drive, so odds favor you not
needing it if you have one. You can boot to a bootable CD and get a DOS
prompt. Odds favor your OS not being available on floppy, and not fitting
the boot data onto a floppy if you wanted to create a bootable backup of
your OS.

The OP said that he does not use the modem AND the modem is causing him
problems. Why keep legacy hardware that does not work anymore, especially
when you can buy a new modem for virtual pennies and get a driver that
works, or at least have support so you can _get_ drivers?

Quite a lot of stuff going on at startup, not to much out of the
ordinary tho.

It might be one of these causing it:

> C:\Program Files\D4\D4.exe
this is for "The Ultimate Troubleshooter" software, which is supposed to
tune-up your pc


> C:\Program Files\DellSupport\DSAgnt.exe

> O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [DellSupport] "C:\Program Files\DellSupport\DSAgnt.exe"
> /startup

These two are for the DEll support software, if you got the modem with
the pc then this might be causing the message, you can check these as
you can run your dell software from the programs menu.

to remove them with hijack this just check them and click fix, it only
removes the startup entries it does not remove the software so you can
still use the programs by selecting them manually.

The Broadxent site seems to be busted. It throws errors, once you get
a certain depth into the site. Either using the Support stuff, or even
looking at products. Maybe all the staff were fired or something

http://www.broadxent.com/support/dow...x?subcatid=588

The Creative site has a driver page, but from 2003. It is the bottom
link on the page. You have to check all of them, to figure that out.

Which, I guess is better than nothing.
