I just reformated my hard drive & reinstalled WIN98 & now my US Robotics 56k modem cannot install properly....
Before reformat I took note that device manager listed the modem as US Robotics 56k Win INT....
I was not able to locate the driver disk for the modem so I D/L a driver to floppy but on reinstall the hardware wizard stated that this driver was not written for this device...
I went to www.usr.com & was able to get the FCC Code & Product code off modem to determine that I had an OEM 2975 card so I D/L those drivers & still got the same results....
D/L a miu.exe self-extracting installer from USR that was supposed to tell me what product ID & model I had, however, on running this the program stated that there was no modem detected on system, so I ran it on another PC & it detect the modem but detect that it was not a US Robotics modem (which was correct), so the program seems to work....
BOTTOMLINE: any idea why windows detect a PCI communications device, cannot install any drivers, & this MIU program does not detect any modem on system???
any help appreciated!!!
