Hi I need to install a driver for my modem and selct what kind it is. I have a used computer and the software is not with it. Windows doest know what kind it is. Does anyone know how I could find out? Also, I need to change the "port" location for the modem to "com2" ??? Dunno, but thats where the setup paper I did get says the modem is located. The box has "printer port" selected and the drop down has no other options. TY to anyone for any help you can give. (-:

You need to physicaly pull the modem out and look for a FCC-ID number, then go to the above URL and search for it.......

Once you get this computer up and running properly again, follow some of the advice in your previous post and it will tell you the name of all your hardware. Then write it all down so you have it safely stored somewhere. Some of that advice is under MrKlattu (spelling) post because that is where you attached your post to before.
