First thing, make sure your modem WORKS with Windows 2000. Check the manufacturer's website or your manual to find out if it's Windows 2000 compliant.
If it is, download the latest Windows 2000 drivers for it and go in and Uninstall the modem and reboot. When it finds the modem manually tell it to use those drivers, or else go in and run the Add Hardware wizard and manually choose them there.....

unfortunatly i allready tried downloading the latest drivers and there is no mention of win 2k complience or not. I have allready tried the latest drivers the real problem areises because even when i uninstall the other modem and install the drivers i want the system still picks it up as a 3 com modem in device manager even thought the driver is for telepath and all telepath traits are exhibited so i cant get it to work i quess what im looking for is does someone know of a reg switch to disable all AUTOMATIC hardware detection so that i can manually install this hunk of garbage in peace
