| 320703 | 2005-02-02 09:43:00 | A small thought - you downloaded a zip file and unzipped it into a folder. Can you open the folder and look for a file called setup or install? If one of these files is there - double click it and let it run. If you have the wrong driver for the modem then, if intellegent life exists in the driver, it won't install. If it is the correct driver it will. |

| 320706 | 2005-02-02 20:02:00 | Conexant modems are a real pain if you don't have the original drivers. Mostly, you have to go through the add new hardware - select from list - modems -have disk ,way, pointing it to the driver folder. |

| 320708 | 2005-02-03 07:29:00 | Ah.. so it was the old "wrong driver for the hardware" story. Easy to do and sooooooo frustrating. A pity the manufacturers can't come up with a decent error message rather than: a. nothing or b. Could Not Detect Hardware Glad it worked. |
