[SOLVED] I need a Modem Driver. The Box says v.92/v.44 and thats all

[thegreatone]

I took the modem out and it says Ambient on the board. I installed Win 2000 on the machine and everything is fine except the modem doesn't work. I used the install CD that came with it to install the driver but it says it's not the correct driver. The box says it is compatable with Win 2000.

Did you try finding the appropriate drivers on the Windows 2000 cd? Are there setup instructions?

I installed Win 2000 with the modem already installed in the PC. Wouldn't the Win 2000 CD have installed the correct driver automatically? My question is why doesn't the Win 2000 Driver that came with the Modem work? The modem did work on 98 but I cleaned everything and installed 2000 instead this time.

From your first post, I got the impression that the wrong drivers were on the cd. With the install of 2K after the modem was installed, yes, the modem should have been recognized and the appropriate drivers installed at that time. Does the modem appear in device manager at all? Does anything appear there with an exclamation mark? I'm not sure how 2K addresses IRQ settings, but you might try putting the modem in another slot.

It does so a device in the device manager with a exclamation mark. I'll try moving it to a new slot thanks

Also, remove the problem device from device manager too.

If you'll give a brief update as to the steps you took, it will help others in the future........
