First modem was installed and working with 2000 pro. Changed to XP Pro and
first modem would drop out. Got a new XP compatible modem and it is doing
the same thing.

Have reinstalled drivers, several times. Different drivers, etc. etc.

Will install fresh IE6.

Thanks for your response.

I am just curious . . . I noticed that you are using Microsoft CDO for
Windows 2000 and not Outlook Express. What is Microsoft CDO? Is it for
selected people only?

CDO? Don't know nothing 'bout no CDO.

Thank you guys.

But I did my own Google search and the way I understand the complicated
language, Microsoft CDO is for advanced user. CDO means Collaborative Data
Object. It is an e-mail program designed for software developers.

As I observed on this newsgroup, the Microsoft CDO users are playing naive
if not stupid. This time their "show" is about installing a second and
third hard drive disk. If you go on microsoft.public.windowsupdate their
"show" there is "how bad Internet Explorer 6."

What is going Mr. Bill Gates? Why is your people toying with the trust of
the ordinary users?

May be we are ordinary and not "the lucky and the strong" but we have
feelings too that can be hurt.

As you can see . . . I am still going . . . and going . . . and going . . .
and going . . .

My last suggestion for a Microsoft CDO user who does not know how to
configure a dial-up modem is to switch to Windows Vista.

Also, you should uninstall IE6 because it is incompatible with IE7.

Do I sound like a pro now?

Yes, CDO stands for "Collaborative Data Object" But when people talk about
CDO here, they are talking about the CDO interface to these newsgroups. It's
the web-based way of accessing the groups, used instead of a newsreader.

It's the slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone way you can participate here.
It's not for advanced users, but for newbies who, in many cases, don't even
realize that a newsgroup is where they are.

Yeah, yeah what Ken said.

OK! I will not argue with you.

You live in your fantasies and the ordinary users will live in theirs.

And for the mean time, I will think of a way to make banana trees to process
more carbon dioxide so that its fruit will ripen very well inside Melinda's
refrigerator.

And also, I will make sure that there is now a mosquito that injects
penicillin when it bites people. This will surely help the Bill and Melinda
Gates foundation solve the poverty in the world. Good work Bill and
Melinda!

By the way, when are you going to start working on your Internet Explorer 6?
It is really annoying for the ordinary users like me to install IE6 every
week because your WAUpdate has the habit of corrupting my browser.

Another suggestion Mr. and Mrs. Gates, please make an MS social newsgroup
for your MVPs so that they will not use this newsgroup as a social club.

I know, there is MSN Messenger . . . but your people, probably including
Melinda Gates, are exhibitionists, if not show-off. This not a good image
for the world to see.

Excuse the language . . . The world does not want to see American A**h***s
on line particularly on a technical newsgroup.
