I really could use some help finding a driver for my modem. The files on my disc aren't working for it, and the ones that I tried from the site don't seem to work or give me error messages.
Now, i'm not sure if the file I downloaded was the correct one, so i'm coming to you guys. If anyone here knows which driver I need to download for the pci modem, the one that comes with the Dell 2400 Celeron series, I would really appreciate whatever info you could give me.
Also, i'm running Win2k. -- not the factory winXP that came with it.
There are only two drivers listed for win 2000 and the 2400, so if you tried them both and neither work, you may be out of luck with the existing modem. In Device Manager, are there any yellow exclamation marks on any of the items? Does your modem work at all? Also, have you reinstalled windows or made changes that necessitate a new driver installation?
Yes. There's a question mark, with an exclamation mark on top for both PCI Device and PCI Simple Communications Controller. Not sure which of the two is my modem. And yes, I reinstalled windows about 2-3 months ago. I never bothered with drivers since i'm on highspeed now.
There are also network, audio, etc. drivers which you must have done or there would be other problems. Since you're on high speed you aren't using the internal modem anyway, right? Not sure what else to tell you if everything is working well otherwise.
Try the Win2K software secton, maybe someone will know of a modem driver that will work for Win 2K. In many cases Dell only provides drivers for the Operating System that the PC came with.
