I have a Thinkpad pentium 2. I am runny windows XP. I am trying to dail up with aol. But my computer keeps reporting an error with modem not responding. To be exact message reads as:
*******************************************
MWME001:MODEM INTERNAL ERROR

PRIMARY CODE:2(0X00020
SECONDARY CODE:24(0X0018)
FILE:MWMSPCFC.C
LINE:4028
********************************************
Then it asked me if i wanted to restart or shutdown my modem. I hit restart but nothing happened, same with shutdown.

If there is anyone who can help me out with this cituation, please HELP! I truly would appreciate it. I just got the laptop as a gift and it isn't letting me connect.

p.s. when i first tried to connect to the internet, it allowed me to do so. but then i got disconnected and wasn't able to reconnect.

-thanks
michelle

This error will occur if your modem is incorrectly configured, possibly as a result of installing or upgrading software.

To resolve this issue:

1. Use Regedit.exe to navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations.

2. Delete the NumEntries Value Name.

3. Press Yes to confirm the deletion.

4. Exit the Registry Editor.

5. Shutdown and restart your computer.
