Modem?

Alright, I feel stupid, but we can't figure it out at work.... We are trying to set the other computer up with internet access (via AOL), hooked up the phone lines, and the computer does not have a modem installed? (Windows XP with partioned 9

Tried installing standard modem, doesn't recognize it... What am I doing wrong? Don't laugh too much at me

First mistake was going with AOL, but that's besides the point.

How old is the said modem? Is there a manuel for it? Do you need to configure the network connections and add a dialup connection. Do you need to release something else from the hardware profiles and restart for it to auto-detect the modem. Have you tested the modem recently on another computer to see if it is even operational and doesn't have some sort of issue itsself.

Also Windows XP Service Pack 2 was just released, you might want to get that and try again. Now if I could only help you figure out what's wrong with your avatar we'd be set.

Modem is not auto-detecting, when checking in hardware device manager says there are no modems. That is main problem, tried installing standard 56 k modem from that, but it isn't registering.

EDIT: Well, we give up (basically she driving me nuts cuz really comp illiterate and making me mad so I putting her on back computer that works

)

If you would still like any help. I'd ask for information first. Modem make/model, and is it internal/external?
