When you open up the "network adapters" tab, what do you see?

How about the "modems" tab? Both should appear on the device manager.
Network adapters tab shows the ethernet pc card there, modems tab shows the installed internal dial up modem. I knew about Win Me being a huge pitfall, I had it on a gateway biggest POS I ever been around, I love xp better. If this ain't worth messing with, then I will use it to play games and keep any eye out for a better laptop, the pawn shops around norman have a good selection of them.
