i have tried to install an internal modem in my compaq deskpro and windows 2000 did not recognize it. on top of that i tried to call tech support and i got no where there because my computer is out of warentee and i do not have the original operating system on it. If someone could help me get windows to recognize my modem that would be great. I also know that the modem does in fact work because i tried it on my dell and windows xp recognized it imediatley.
 
What modem model no. have you got? I'm sure the generic driver database on xp is better and more up to date. If the modem's recent, it may be you'd need to download a driver for it.

In the Device Manager is the modem question marked?
 
the computer dosn't even show anything for the modem it's as if it's not installed but i know that it is

my modem is and encore v.92 fax modem
model # ENF656-ESW-NDPR
 
Get Your Chipset Drivers

Maybe try updating your chipset drivers man. I mean drivers for the motherboard. That could be causing the problem of the failure to detect the hardware. Why not install XP over 2000? That could solve it. I would give that a try.

before you go updating stuff that might not need it, have you tried scanning for hardware changes in device manager?

Hi jak119,

I read your chat on installing a modem on your compaq and wanted to know if you had any luck getting this sorted out, since I also have a new pci modem for my compaq P2 and am having the same issue, doesnt detect the hw...

Hope you didnt give up.

Cheers,
Darin
