| 30408 | 2002-01-09 03:06:00 | Hi there, I've finally managed to get a stable Windows 98 setup, and once I get that, I'm gonna install XP. In the end, I got a new power supply, with 300W output. My problem is now, Windows is giving me a hard time over setting up my modem. I have managed to setup all hardware except my modem and a device with a question mark next to it - a 'PCI Serial Controller' - could this be my modem? If not, can anyone out there please help setup my modem with suggestions? Thanks alot, Jonathan Giles |

It should start with a Found New Hardware dialogue, and will probably ask for the drivers. Click on Have Disk and point the installer to where the modem drivers are found, and away it all should go. | Guest (0) | ||
| 30410 | 2002-01-09 03:52:00 | I wish it were that easy, but I'm not getting 'PCI communication device', I'm getting 'PCI Serial Controller' and so am unsure if that is my modem or not - using have disk with this causes the computer to pop up an error, so perhaps not... Thanks for the quick reply nonetheless, Jonathan Giles |
