I hate installing modems in xp!!! Why must it be so difficult!?

Anyway, i had this old Aopen FM56-RS internal modem (ISA) that installed fine on Win 98, it detected a new COM port and installed the drivers just fine.
Now im trying to install it in xp. When windows xp loads it does not detect any new COM port or any new hardware. I have the drivers for it, but what good are they if it cant be detected. And ive tried more than one slot in the comp. Where do i go from here?

XP has little or no support for ISA Hardware unless it complies with the Plug'n'play specification!!

Go to www.aopen.com

Search for drivers for your modem. Follow Aopen's advice on how to install for Windows 2000.


Rule #1: Good Computers don't go down.
Rule #2: There is no such thing as a good computer.
