| 432929 | 2006-02-22 11:55:00 | Have you tried plugging it in? Theres a chance winxp might run it straight away i.e. load drivers for you. The best policy is shoot first, ask questions later :) |

| 432931 | 2006-02-22 12:45:00 | I'm live in scotland...so i guess that doesnt apply to me.. I did plug it in and it said new hardware detected...and went to find a driver but couldnt connect to the net... Now when i plug it in it doesnt even recognise the new hardware.. it aslo doesnt have brand name on it so i cant use dial up to download the driver :annoyed: |

| 432932 | 2006-02-22 18:28:00 | Try running a system information program and see if it can identify the modem. Belarc - free system information (www.belarc.com) Is there any information about the modem on a label underneath it? |

| 432933 | 2006-02-22 18:57:00 | Does ebay still have a record of the transaction? If so, point us to it and we might be able to identify it for you. Also, the seller might be able to help. Once identified, it'll be easy to find drivers for it. | Greg (193) | ||
| 432934 | 2006-02-22 19:07:00 | failin all else just open the modem and take note of the numbers/model listed on the chipset (square black flat thingy on the circuit board) | drcspy (146) | ||
