Go to control panel then printers and other hardware then phone and modem options then under the modems tap highlight and remove all modems that are there. Then power down and install the new modem. When you restart Windows should detect the new modem and either set it up or ask for the install disk. ********************************************** Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Old TV Man wrote: Jim.

Did you remove old modem drivers from Control panel/system/hardware? (assuming Windows) Did you install drivers for the new modem? ********************************************** Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Old TV Man wrote: When i got to outlook express and click connect I get this message "could not detect modem. It may be in use, turned off, or not installed properly". I replaced the modem and still get the same message. Any help from you computer whiz's?
