| 36469 | 2002-02-20 14:01:00 | I have been given a PC with a Microstar MS-5184 motherbord, and a reformatted hard drive. Win 98 installs ok but it fails to detect my modem. Are there such a thing as motherboard drivers or simply bios updates as i have no setuip disks for this motherboard. |

Your modem isn't being detected becaused Windows driver database doesn't contain it. You'll have to search the net for your modem driver. If you don't know who your manufacturer for your modem or the model number you'll have to open up the case and have a look on the modem for anything that can get you the manufacturer. Hopefully it has all the markings or else you'll need to look for either the chipset or the FCC code. Once you have that do a search for it on www.google.com and it may return results for your modem. |

Even if there isnt a driver for it in windows, it should still be detected as a standard modem, if it's working. If its an ISA there will be jumpers to set and a port to detect first. |
