I lent my computer to my brother for 3 months. In the second week he had it, he updated the Dell drivers. Cheers for his initiative BUT.... he managed to install a wrong driver. The problem is, the driver he installed is for a device that I dont even have! Now that I have the computer back, every startup gets an error window: Cannot load the dll CnxtSdk.dll. Apparently, the driver is for a "Conexant By Actiontec MD560RDV92 MDC Modem v.3.05.32.02 XP INSTL,A02. The driver exe is R47008.exe I called dell and they gave me two options: System Restore (which isnt really an option as both my brother and I have since put on maybe 30 programs and configured them) or live with it. Great tech support. Any advice?

This is a problem easy to fix, although for better response, next time post it in the XP forum.

Click:
Start -> Control Panel

Double-click 'System',

Click 'Hardware' tab,

Click the 'Device Manager' button

Find 'Network Adapters' in the list, and find the wrong driver under it, click it, and at the top menu, click 'Action', then 'Uninstall'.

Don't know why nobody ever looks at this forum.
Anyway, hope this helps.

Do you have "Digital Line Detect" in your startup group? I did, and stopped getting the error when i removed it.
