Would you please tell me how can I install a
modem driver under Windows 98? I've tried
using Modem from Control Panel without
success. Thanks for any help. Have a nice day.
Stefan.

If you have the driver software, go to Start, Run and browse the drive location for Setup or Install .EXE files and run it. Shut down and reboot and then Windows should see the modem you're trying to install. You can download drivers from various driver sites for free, such as www.driverguide.com. They will ask you to become a member which will only take a minute or two. If the modem is an ISA architecture, you will need to assign an IRQ which should be an option during the set up program. Please post a comment with more details, such as manufacturer, type of modem (ISA, PCI, external, etc.) for more help. Best wishes.

Some modems require that you install the sofware from the CD or floppy disk before you install the hardware into the computer.

I know this is true if your modem has a Lucent chipset.

If so, you can still get things running without physically removing the modem.

Install the software from the CD or floppy,
Right click on My computer, and select properties,
Clcik on the device manager tab,
Expand the modem branch,
Click on the modem,
Click the remove button,
Close system properties,
Reboot.

Windows should then find the modem on it's own and install it properly.
