In your first message you stated that you needed the following drivers:

Code:
Modem:                             HDAUDIO soft data fax modem with smartCP
Network Adapter:                   NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
Sound, video and game controllers: Conexant High Definition Audio
You have the basics already installed:

# 1 - Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2
# 2 - DirectX 9.0c

It's not listed but I don't see the (Universal Audio Architecture) UAA Driver. If you do not have this driver listed in the Device manager? Then download and install it from this location!

Direct File Link: File Size = 12,370 KB

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp26001-26500/sp26334.exe

This MUST be installed BEFORE you install any Audio or Modem devices. Otherwise they will not work properly.

You will need to install the Main Chipset driver. In this instance your Main Chipset is the nVidia nForce 560. This file can be obtained fron Nvidia. Located on this web page:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...p2k_12.15.html

Direct File Link : File Size = 79,500 KB

http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...glish_whql.exe

This should fix your "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller" and anything else that may not be up to date. That concerns the Main Chipset for your machine. let me know if there are any errors encountered while installing this driver, OK?

Next we will try to find a driver for your modem. The Windows Vista driver identfies this modem as the following:

VEN_14F1&DEV_5045

This translates to:

14F1 = Conexant
5045 = Venice Chipset

I've found several drivers for this modem at HP / Compaq! I guess we'll just have to try and see if this driver works for you. It's do it this way or I list 30 or 40 different drivers for the modem. Installing that many drivers or "tries" if you will can cause your system to become unstable.

So, BEFORE you install this driver? Make a "Restore Point". This will record the system setup PRIOR to the installation of the Modem Driver. That way if the installation fails for ANY reason you will be able to get back to square one, without corrupting your system.

No for the link to the driver! Direct link here: File Size = 11,301 KB

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36001-36500/sp36089.exe

If this works let me know, also, if it doesn't work let me know.

Lets see if these drivers work first. Then we'll see about the other drivers.

HTH
