Hello,

I have problems with Windows XP! Please, could you help me?

The question is the following:

(I don't speak English well. I'm sorry.)

When the Windows XP is initializing, a system error appears: "the system has halted by hardware malfunction".

Then, I need reboot my computer three times, and curiously, Windows XP begins to work without problems.

I think than this problem is ocasionated by the 3Com ADSL modem that I have installed into my computer.

Please, somebody could confirm me this?

Could you facilitate me a web-adress to download an actual Windows XP driver for my modem?

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
 
Do me a favor. Open your device manager and give me the exact model number of your modem. To get to device manager, go to control panel> system> 'hardware' tab> 'device manager' button. On that page find your dsl modem and post it's complete description.
 
This is the complet description of the modem referenced:

3COM ADSL USB MODEM LAN/RFC1483

Thanks
 
I've just performed a search at www.3com.com for XP drivers for thier broadband modems.... nothing came back. I suggest you send their tech support an email and ask if XP drivers are being developed for your modem. Also, give them a description of your problem and they may have a temporary fix for you. good luck.
 
USB DSL modems suck, too many probs, the ones that use an NIC card are way better.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
