Hi Melissa,

Have you tried installing this modem into a different computer? Do you
have a friend with a different system who might let you try this? If
the crashing does not occur on the other computer, then I would
say the modem is not broken but incompatible with your system. I think
one of the overlooked hazards of the lower cost modems is
incompatibility, not just quality.  If it does fail, then you may have
more material to use against Tiger/KDS. I don't know if there is a
difference in trying to get back your money on a modem that is broken
or incompatible.

Good luck.
