Just a quick answer, might be somewhat better then the previous contributer.
Looks like you have a software modem, and you need to install one of the software driver components so it will work with windows 'forget' off-hand what its called. PCI Serial Controller? or similar? Go into the properties for the modem, and query it, you should get an error message. Install it off your installation cd. It's a pain to do, it knocks you around a bit, but it will work. If your really keen, email me and i'll help you properly.
