I installed a new modem on my PC with Win98 being the OS.
I check my dialing-up properties and device manager and I see that the Modem has be installed correctly, but when I try to setup my MSN account I get a messages that states "Can't find Modem".

I dont think your problem is in your "dialing-up properties". Check device manager and make sure there are no conflicts there or rather that there is no little yellow excalmation mark beside it. Check your computer setup and make sure that com port is not disabled. Then try removing the modem in device manager and completely reinstalling it.

the problem lies in the dialup properties. I'm sure that there is still reference of the old modem in it. what you need to do is go to the dialup properties and make sure your current modem is the active one. I dont know over the top of my head whattab it is but it will be under the dial up properties in dial up networking. From a dropdown box you're able to select the current modem. the old one will be listed as the active modem.
This sulotion will get you online again.
