any tips on getting dial up to work with vista??

going to look at a buddies pc tomorrow. he just brought it and cant get verizion online shit to load on it so he can connect to the internet. Anything I need to disable in order to get it to take the software?? He says it will get to like 85 percent then just freeze and he has tried this a few times with the same results. Its also a POS emachines pc if that helps.

Get a real internet connection?

Or try running the install with admin privlidges, and compatibility enabled.

Any idea if verizon supports supports standard dial-up networking? If so try that.

Sounds like he might be trying to get it to load a non-Vista version of the software. Maybe there are two??? Just a thought. I’m probably waaaay off.

Do you have an access number? If so you can just set it up manually in network and sharing center.

more info please
going over around 4

Start -> Connect to -> Setup a connection or network -> select dial up connection -> put correct information in, hit connect.

To create a shortcut on the desktop:
Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center -> Manage network connections -> right click your dial up connection and select create shortcut.
