Do you have a modem in your computer? I'd guess that's what it is.

Yep, its the dial up modem for sure.

 

[robina_80]

no i got no dial up modem

Right click on that device and click on properties, click on the details tab and give me the 4 digit vendor and device id numbers. They look like this.

If you run vista or W7 it will look different.

i found out it was my chipset

 

[johnb35]

You should always install the chipset driver first before installing any other driver.

It's always better to run the setup for any piece of hardware. Sometimes there is extra stuff that needs to be installed to assure smooth hardware operation.
