Lenovo T60 Modem has disappeared from device manager and reinstallation of modem driver fails

When using Earthlink/Dial-Up, the IE7 browser froze.  It had been working fine for about a month.  I rebooted the server and suddenly, Earthlink/Dail-Up stopped working.  In troubleshooting the issue, I found that the modem did not appear in Device manager.  After researching the Lenovo website, it indicated that I should reinstall the modem driver.  However, when reinstalling the modem driver, I get the error:  Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the device for this driver.
I went into BIOS and hid/enabled the modem and that still did not work.
What am I missing or what should I do to resolve this issue?
Thanks! 

Bump!
I have a similar situation. I am trying to install the modem and the downloaded driver setup says it cannot find the device. BIOS says "enable" (as opposed to "hide") but it is like the modem weren't there
Thanks

  • Z61m Integrated camera disappeared from Device Manager

    Within the last two days the integrated camera just disappeared from Device Manager.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled software, tried lenovousbwebcam.exe (including removing vsnp2std.exe from C:\Windows folder.)
    (Kind of redundant since the hardware is simply missing...)
    Updated BIOS to 2.27 in the hope that wouls fix it. - Did not work.
    Surely it is possible this is a hardware failure. (I really hope not.)
    Does anyone have the same issue or a possible fix for this?
    Thanks for any comments.
    Model: Z61M-9450-39U
    OS: WinXP3SP3
    RAM: 4GB

    Did you press Fn + (key assigned to turn on your webcam)?
    Best regards.

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

    Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

    Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
    Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive.  Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
    After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box.  DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
    That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
    You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key.  That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives.  Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

    Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash.  Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
    Install new MAS app -
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

    OS X Lion 10.7.5 update combo

  • Satelltie M40X: Lan card disappears from device manager

    I have a Satellite M40X with Windows XP SP2 and my Lan Card (Realtek gigabit) is no longer seen by Windows (or Linux : test done with a Ubuntu live CD).
    The lan card is not seen by Toshiba HW Setup either. I has disappeared 2 days ago, was back yesterday an d is not present today...
    LAN card is activated in BIOS.
    Can somebody help me to solve this issue ?
    The PC is 13 months old (out of Toshiba guaranty....)

    Either some registry keys are damage and therefore the LAN card is not visible in device manager (very impossible) or the LAN card is damage (more possible)
    I think you should try to reinstall the OS. If after the new installation the LAN card is not visible in the device manager (as unknown device or as LAN card) so its a hardware malfunction and in my opinion only a replacement or reparation will help.

  • Creative Cloud has disappeared from my Mac and will not allow me to download it again. Solutions???

    I have had Creative Cloud on my Mac for over a year and about a week ago I updated the application and it completely disappeared from my laptop. I have tried re-installing it many times but my Mac is not allowing me to do so. This is a serious issue as I am a monthly payer of CC and need these applications for schoolwork.

    Refresh the localstore.rdf file.
