Hmm, interesting that the replies have all been negative. SP2 works fine for
me and I know of many others without problems too.

I'd suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the modem drivers first and see
if that solves the problem.

If you took the precaution of creating a restore point before you
installed
SP2,I suggest you use it.This update has caused an incredible amount of
problems.

I'm running a Compaq Presario 5868 with WindowsXP Home Edition and SP2
installed.

I also use a dial-up connection.

Whenever I hang up and try to connect again I get an error message
telling
me the modem is off the hook. Error 676. When I reboot everything is
fine
until I hang up again and get the same error message.

Didn't have the problem before SP2.

Any suggestions?

Warmest regards,

Joe
