Step 4: Install the Modem Driver
If you use Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows
2000, you must install the modem driver. (If you use Windows 3.1 or another operating
system, skip this step and go to Step 5.) The modem driver is used by Windows to con-
trol the modem.
Installing the Modem Driver
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on your computer.
Windows should detect your new modem and open the Install New Modem
wizard.
Note: If Windows cannot find a modem, your modem may not have power, it
may be plugged into the wrong connector on your computer, or the serial cable
may be faulty. See “None of the LEDs Light When the Modem Is Turned On” and
“The Modem Does Not Respond to Commands” in Chapter
5, “Solving Problems.”
2. In the Install New Modem wizard, select Don’t detect my modem; I will select
it from a list , and then click Next. A dialog box with a list of manufacturers and
a list of modem models appears.
3. Insert your modem’s setup disk into your floppy drive, and then click Have
Disk .
4. In the Install from Disk dialog box, select the drive the installation disk is in,
and then click OK.
5. A list of modems appears. Select your modem from the list, and then click Next.
6. Select the port the modem is connected to, and then click Next.
7. Windows installs and configures the modem.
8. Click Finish to exit.
Removing Your Old Modem Driver
When your new modem replaces another modem, the old modem driver remains in
Windows after you install the new modem, and the old modem is still selected in
HyperTerminal and other Windows applications. Though you can change the appli-
cation connection descriptions one at a time, it is easier to force Windows applications
to use the new modem by removing the old modem from Windows.
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Modems icon to open the Modems Properties dialog box.
3. In the list box, select the old modem.
4. Click Remove, and then click Close.
5. The next time you dial a HyperTerminal connection, it will select your new mo-
dem and ask you to confirm the selection.
