Modem + Sound + Graphics Problem (LOL)

I have some strange problems with my computer (running windows) that may or may not be related.

My modem can only connect once. If it is disconnected or the computer has been on for a while, the moden gets an error 50: request not supported.

Unless I constaintly have music playing while I dial up to the internet, the sound will not work while I am on the internet, but SOMETIMES works after I disconnect.

Occasionally when I play games with high graphics, the computer goes down to 4 bit colour and has a "serious error".

I would prefer not to have to re-install.

 Yeah, so be it.

But, you have surely sound and modem conflicted at least.

Enough to say now.

Smile I think I solved it.

I think I solved it. - Bit the bullet and reformated...

Dam it takes one hell of a long time to backup up a computer (including settings) over a network.

That solved the sound and modem problem.

The graphics problem was an nvidia infinite loop problem. I think I solved it, Not sure, will have to wait for it to happen again.

It most likely was a modem conflict problem with something (I have 2 modems), but I did not have the time to waste.

At least it works now...

Reformatting is often the best way to fix a computer. Just be sure you keep your backups current
