I pulled a ModemBlasterDI5633v92 and inserted a USR3095
modem. When the new hardware is detected XP Pro
spontaneously reboots, starts up, reboots again and so
on. When i reinsert the old modem then XP spontaneously
reboots too. When i remove all the modem hardware XP
starts (no reboot) and complains about the system
recovered from a serious error. I can't send the error
data since i don't have a working modem.

Any ideas to fix this problem ?

I recently installed BlasterWorm patch KB823980, turned
on firewall for modem and LAN conections, and turned off
system restore and deleted restore points.
 
get an external modem perhaps, try a different slot for your existing ones,
start in safe mode and try to detect the modem, make sure that it is plugged
ALL the way in, make sure you didnb't accidently jam a cable ( cd audio )
into the slot along with your modem ( hurts if it happens ). .......... ive
ran out of ideas
