Modem Drivers for XPPro

webwwwizard — Mon, 21 Jun 2004 11:43:43 GMT

I have just done a fresh install of XPPro on my FX105K, downloaded all the XP drivers from Vaio Link, and everything OK...

...EXCEPT

The modem. I had a lot of trouble till I found the Vaio Link drivers. But even after installing those, I get an error that causes the laptop to shut down. They only occur when I dial up to the internet

It's the Connexant Soft56 modem, and I've tried drivers from Connexant too (they just don't install).

Anyone any ideas??

Hi there,
have you checked if the modem is supported by Windows XP?
Conexant has a driver assistance that you can run in order to find out if that particular modem is supported, or not.

Conexant driver assistance

Let me know if it is supported, then I can check some more.

Goo dluck!

Hi

The listmodem app reports the modem is not XP compatible, in which case Connexant say refer to Sony.

Sony provide an XP driver, but it crashes out the whole PC.

I'm away from home right now, but I'll post the details of the error at the weekend.

Thanks

OK, details of the error:

Shortly after the modem connects to the Internet and IE opens up, there is a message from NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM: c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe has terminated unexpectedly with status code 1073741819. The system will shut down in 60 seconds.

Once it reboots you get an error with LSASHELL (Export Version)

Another reboot and it is ok

BUT:

I networked it to another PC and connected to the internet through that. Windows Update had a new version of the driver, and once I installed it, the problem went away.

Thanks for your help tho.

🙂
