I had jdk1.1.8 installed on my computer. Recently I changed my os now XP(Prof). Java is not working. I reinstalled file. My Add /remove program show java development kit1.1 (20 MB) installed. I set the path C:\jdk1.1.8\bin and tried to compile javac <file name.java> .Error message file not found.Do I need to install latest version from sun or I am not able to define path /directories properly? Can someone guide me to see if the compiler is working. I need detailed explaination on this. Thanks

I have already purchased an Aztech v92 extrernal Modem. It is working fine. I tried to take out the PCI Modem and tried different slots. It was of no use because XP loads the driver automatically and I am not able to point towards the correct driver. My driver file is Modem830.exe. Is there some way to point the hardware wizard to point to this file or make a CD like we have for our external modem(In this I point to a file D:WinXp) . Am I talking silly? Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. I have also purchased an Aztech v92 external Modem. It is working fine. The problem is not in Modem. It has worked fine for over 4 years in Me and then 2000. It is only during installation of XP, something has gone wrong probabaly with the driver. I read a lot about it from the net. The INF file needs to be corrected. The file name is OEM5.inf. When I search thro' search, no such file is available. May be try to open the file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and see if it exists. I need more information. We should be able to sort this out. Buying a external Modem is a quickfix.

What operating system you are using.In Windows XP ,you can use "restore system" to recover the registry. I am sure there will be some way in this " Registry Repair Program" to recover registry. Other options may be F8/Last good configuration or reinstall OS.

The Modem dials,but unable to connect. I understand this problem is due to corruption of driver during XP installation(the corruption can be avoided if you take out Modem physically as well as uninstall it before installing XP)

In my case, the bad driver is automatically reloaded by plug and play device. I have the good driver ,but unable to load it. Upgrade driver and Uninstall options in windows are of no use. Something has to be done in INF files. I am not clear on this.

I have updated from windows 2000 professional to XP professional. I faced problem with my modem. I understand one must unstall modem driver as well as physically remove Modem from the computer before installing XP. I ignored this and therefore facing problem. I repeat, you must uninstall modem and remove it physically. Also read other XP installation problems on Microsoft site.This problem is not reported for clean install.

Regarding the problem I am facing(Modem not working), I understand this is due to feature Plug and Play in Windows. If you don't follow above procedure, Windows automatically detects Modem drivers(which gets corrupted during installation) and loads them. They cannot be removed using Device Manager or Uninstalling Modem options. Reinstalling XP again may be an option ?(I have not tried) .Buy a new modem (expensive !). Any other solution ?

I think one should go to manufacturer site for drivers.

In my case,I have upgraded from Windows 2000 professional to Windows XP. I have a agere Win build in modem(v90).My computer is Hp Pentium 3. I downloaded Modem830.exe from agere(Lucent win) site.Not able to connect to internet. Do I need some different drivers? From where?The only difference I see( not sure) that Agere Win modem is on COM3,while it was on COM 2 in Windows 2000.Needs help.
