I tried everything. My friend who installed it via PPP connection couldn't even get it to work. He sayed it must be a problem with my modem. plus when i look at the devices it reports back to me it shows i have 23 conflicts (all of which i resolved). I think i might try an install via dos partition unless you have any other ideas. Thank you.
