Default Help with the computer - 08-24-2005, 07:23 PM

Hey guys, I have a seriously whacked out machine. Okay I had Windows XP, and then it froze on me, CTRL+ALT+DEL didn't work, so I naturally Restarted my computer..Well seems that my BIOS was unable to detect the Primary IDE Master and Slave drives, so I remembered I have an old 40gb Hard Drive from my Pentium 3 Days. I hooked it up, and lo and behold, BIOS instantly recognized it...Well kinda. It booted up and all, worked fine, but it hasn't been run since August 2003 so it had to Re-Install all of these drivers, took several hours..(This hard drive has Windows ME)...Well, everything seems fine now, except that 1) Sound is completely gone and 2) I am unable to connect to the internet. I ran the SBC Yahoo! DSL CD, but after trying to connect to my modem, it gave me the "Modem was not found" message. So I am in a pickle here. I have looked for the SpeedStream 5100 drivers on several websites but found none... Can anyone give me any ideas on what to do? By the way, the lights that are green on the modem are Power and Ethernet, Internet and Activity are off (not red).

Any help would be appreciated in getting either the internet/sound working on WinME or getting the WinXP HDD working.
