| Windows 2000's Annoying
"Feature"
Have you ever experienced the annoying fact that your modem
is unusable just because you forgot to turn it on when you
booted Windows 2000? Well, I experience it all the time!
Windows 2000 attempts to query my modem every time it loads up.
Maybe it's to make sure that the device is present and in working
order. But I often forget to turn the modem on and wallah!, the
modem is non-existent as far as Win2k is concerned. So, when I
try to connect to the Net, all I get is the error message - Unable
to connect.
Pretty frustrating, isn't it? Up till now, the only way
around this is to restart Windows 2000 and remember to turn on the
modem before it starts loading. As you can imagine,
that's tedious and really a waste of time. Here are two workarounds that may save us all the
dubious pleasure of
rebooting Windows 2000.
