Installed new modem
Running Win98/2000 on an older barely 486 puter.
It had an internal Viking ISA 33.6 modem, replaced with a Best Data ISA 56K. The problem exists in Control Panel/Modems. General tab still shows a 33.6. The modem new modem works, connects to the net. I didn't seem to run a new driver from the Best Data disk. Windows ran its own process. What shows in the General tab: 33.6 Kbps, Data Fax, internal PnP... (com2) Standard Modem How can I get the new driver for the 56K modem to replace the old information. I deleted all the Viking programs. |

Standard cure for this sort of thing is: In / control panel / system / device manager remove completely any modem that appears; reboot; Windows should detect the modem as "new hardware" and prompt you to instal the correct drivers. If not you can use / control panel / add hardware. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
