hi, really hoping someone can help me. helped a mte recently to upgrade from windows 98 to xp on his packard bell pc.

that went relatively fine, only problem is now his modem (dial-up connection) won't work, and can't find the instalation disk.

it's a fairly old pc from about 8/9 yars ago, does anyone happen to know where i could download the drivers from to bun them to disk?

cheers.

Any installation disk for an ISP from old days will probably have issues in the XP environment.

Best thing to do is to call up the ISP and have them walk you through the steps in XP. XP has wizards that make the process pretty painless.

One place I go to find drivers for old hardware is www.driverguide.com. It's best to write down any information off of the card first so you can search for the driver. Also, Google can be another great help in tracking down drivers. Also, if you can find the FCC ID off of the modem, you may be able to search their database to get clues for finding a driver. Good luck.
