REQ Help: Sony PCG GR390 No Modem afte XpPro upgrade

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I recently upgraded from XPHome to XPPro and all went fine except the system
will not detect my modem? I have no dial-up networking and I don't
understand.

I have spent several hours using Google to no avail. In the back of my
mind, I seem to remember having this problem on a previous Sony and there
was a simple registry fix. I ca not find it now.

Frustrated.

Thanks in Advance, Dave

I did the same on my PCG-NV170. Windows XP did not recognize my modem
either. I had to download the driver from the SONY support web site:
