Not sure if this is the correct forum?

A young friend of mine has recently had a new modem delivered by NTL, the guy who delivered it just connected the modem gave the lad the set-up disk and said " just run the disk and then insert your PID and password when requested"

He did as he was told by the engineer, (who had by this time departed.), and his computer promptly froze up.

My question is: What is the minimum requirement a computer has to meet such as ram and hard disk space in order that broadband will run, I understand he has win 98. Not sure if he is using usb or ethernet

Any help would be appreciated.
