I have the subject modem installed . I had to reinstall XP because the system was getting buggy, The modem worked fine prior to re installation . Now I get the error of Not initialized (3). I'm not sure what that means. I did the Help trouble shooting but did not arrive at a solution. The driver does not require updating. Anybody got any further ideas? William Lockie

Open Device Manager, Locate the Modem Section. Click the "+" in front of MODEMS. Right click the installed Modem, select Remove. OK your way out of DM and Reboot. Windows will re-detect the Modem and install the appropriate Drivers. May be some help at this link. http://www.modemsite.com/56k/sv92p.asp There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

What is written on the chipset on the card and/or what is the card model number?

I am wheelchair bound so am unable to get to the modem in the computer. I have already removed at the device mgr and then rebooted. Never found. Had to reinstall manually. William Lockie

What shows in Device Manager when you click the "+" sign? If the Modem is never Found on reboot how do you know what to install manually? What method are you using to manually install? If this is a PCI Modem, you'll need to get someone to physically remove the Modem Card from the PCI Slot and reboot without the modem. Next, shutdown, Re-install the Modem in the first PCI slot and reboot. If Windows refuses to automatically detect the Modem, you may have a bad Modem.

In device mgr it says "Agere Systems Usb 2.9 Soft Modem. Driver is 2.1.7 dtd 4/28/2006. Device mgr says it is working properly. I know what it is because I installed it two years ago. This last installation I used the CD that came with it. It was working before I reinstalled WXP now it is not initializing (3). Maybe it has quit working all together, but I doubt it. I am leaning toward a setup problem, but don't know where to go from here William Lockie

Have you reinstalled the motherboard drivers?
