Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Xp And Usr 56k Modem
Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded from ME to XP. I reformatted my drive to NTFS and started over loading my software. I was confusing though because my device manager didn't show any modem. I have a 56K US Robotics voice/data internal modem. I tryed to get it to reconize it and it did but only as a "standard modem". It would diag it fine but it won't dial out. I use DSL for the internet and I went online to find a driver but no matter what I try I can't get XP to see my modem as what it is and also it don't work anymore.
Everything else seems to work better now.
Any ideas?

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | Hmmm, is there an "unknown" device in device manager that could be the modem? Maybe it needs drivers? Do you know for certain that the Modem is working? PM me if you would like, I would be glad to help further (of course if u don't PM, I will still keep an eye for a response in the thread  )

Why do you need to get your 56k modem working if you have DSL?

First off the modem has always worked and as a matter of fact I use removable racks when makes changing hard drives simple and I can go back to ME or 98 whenever I want. And when I do the modem works fine.
When I first loaded XP it didn't even find the modem (98 and ME didn't even have to ask for a driver). I went to Add Hardware and it found it on COM 2 as a "standard modem" it even diag's fine which means it is commuicating bewteen the modem and computer fine. But it won't dial out now.

I did but they don't have any drivers for this modem. I might wind up buying a new modem. I hate to cause when I bought this modem it was top of the line and cost me over a hundred dollars.
