No ISDN devices.....?

"No ISDN devices were found.Please install an ISDN device and run the configuration wizard again."
I've been getting this at the end of boot up for about a week now. Everything seems to be fine, just want to get rid of the warning
message.
I have a cable modem. I've looked in msconfig and can find no reference to this in it anywhere, not even in startup.
Any ideas? Thanks

ISDN is a voice/data communications service. Have you installed any software or reconfigured any software since that started?? There is something in the startup that is telling the system to look for an ISDN device. Although it's not in the startup file, it could be in the Win.ini or sys.ini. It could also be something in a program that is started at startup and it has an option checked to look for an ISDN connection.

Lots of places it could be.

Last, if you are using Windows ME, you have the fallback option. You can restore your PC to the configuration it had before the ISDN message started.

Bruce -
If you replaced ISDN with cable and were using a 3COM/USRobotics ISDN modem then your problem sounds to me like you need to run "Uninstall Control Center" (Start/Programs/3COM/Control Center/Uninstall).

If you are trying to install ISDN, you may have to uninstall the software, disconnect the modem, re-install the software then re-connect the modem and run Control Center.

If the ISDN modem is or was connected to a USB port, you may find it listed in the device manager (Start/Settings/Control Panel/System/Device Manager) under USB Controllers. It should appear under Modems to work properly in Windows Millenium. The re-install procedure, above, should cure this. If you are going with cable and don't need the ISDN modem, you can try removing it in Device Manager (after uninstalling Control Center) and see if that gets rid of the message.

Hope this helps. Hardware/software conflicts are mind-numbing.

It could be that you have dial up settings enabled in Tools-Internet Options-Connections in Internet Explorer, probably similar in Netscape. Delete your dial up and configure LAN settings instead in that same window.

Thanks for the replies. I seem to be OK with all of the suggestions so far. The only thing coincidental with this error message
is: a friend that I talk to regularly on
Eyeball.com says that I can hardly be understood now. Don't know if that is significant or not. Then again, Dialpad
works great.
