Where is the phone dialer in XP? I know its installed (I re-installed it just to make sure), but I can't for the life of me figure out where its hidden... :bash:


Anyway, since I couldn't find the phone dialer on my XP machine, I tried it on my dad's win98 laptop. I hook up the phoneline, and try to dial, but it gives me an error message that says the the telephony device is being used by some other program. I turned off everything that I could see in the ctrl-alt-del menu, but the error message persists. I went to "connect using" menu, and only the modem appears in the device list, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Any ideas? I need to get this to work.

Thank you. Now all I have to do is figure out how to use the damn thing.

BTW, my dad wants to use this to make a conference call, and would rather use his laptop. Have any ideas for the problem with the laptop?

Ok, a question about the XP dialer: How do I get it to use my speakers and microphone? Right now, I can dial, and I can here the other person pick up and start talking through my modem speaker. But I can't talk back, and it sounds crappy (cause its on the modem speaker).
