you didn't say if you went to control panel, modem, and ran the diagnosics on the
modem.
with a boot disk from dos you can type fdisk /mbr to restore the master boot record.
and here's a post from the windows me forum--
>> You might try to restore the registry. You will need a startup diskette. You can
make one an any ME computer. You'll need one diskette>go to control panel>add/remove
programs>startup disk tab>insert diskette into a: drive>create disk. Or go to Bootdisk.com
( I use the oem version)>download it to your desktop>open it >copy it to a diskette.
To restore the registry shut down the computer>wait 10 seconds>insert the disk into
a: drive>restart the computer. When it loads>choose without cd-rom support>at the
a:>prompt type scanreg /restore (note space after scanreg)>enter>yes>choose a date
before the problem begin>ok.Remove the startup disk from the a: drive and press ctrl,alt,delete
simultaneously to return to windows. ---jabuck

for the sound card, and to check the modem, download the free utility
EVEREST Home Edition

save it to disk, find the file and double click to install it. it runs from windows.
good luck!
