Is the CPU a MMX, or a regular Pentium?
I believe that your modem is a software modem and they require extension in the MMX instruction set.
My recommendation, is to return the modem, and get an external serial modem.
You can often find 56Kserial modems for under $25 at www.compgeeks.com
Even with a MMX CPU, 200MHz is just too slow a CPU to run a soft-modem and not see your PC slow down.
Before installing a new modem, open the modem applet from control panel, and delete ALL modems that are not physically installed.

Yes, I agree with answer 2,
You will have a software modem which uses the CPU, a 200Mhz CPU isn't powerfull enough.
You can still get internal hardware modems
