I am looking fora free software that someone uses that allows my computer the ability to have caller ID pop up telling me who is calling me before I have to answer the phone. If someone knows of such software please let me know. I prefer s/w where I DON'T NEED TO USE A DIAL-UP MODEM. I use dsl.
Thx

Try THIS (http://www.ivrsoft.com/call-alert.htm)
I have never used it, but it looks like what you're requesting.
It says it doesn't require a modem to work, but I don't know if
it will work with DSL, as I wasn't able to read all the details.

Thx, already tried it. It does not work with vista.

Clicky (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/vistacallerid.html)

clicky didn't work.

You might've let us know these facts. What else have you tried?

Hmmmm...
Vista Caller-ID is a simple CallerID software that runs in the system tray and displays the name and number of the current caller in a small pop-up window. The program can also announce the caller with a virtual voice and log all incoming calls to a text file. If you are using Microsoft Outlook, you can activate Outlook integration which will try to match the caller to your contacts and display a picture (if available).
Pros: Easy to use and install
Did you ever consider the problem may be on your end ? ?
-
Yes it may be that you simply do not have Caller ID enabled on your phone line...
