Step 2: 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 operat-
ing system, skip this step and go to Step 3.)
Installing the ModemDriver
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 be turned off, 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 the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive, and then click Have Disk.
4. In the Install from Disk dialog box, select the drive the CD 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 an Old Modem Driver
When your new modem replaces another modem, the old modem driver remains
in Windows, and the old modem driver is still selected in HyperTerminal and other
Windows applications. Though you can change the application connection descrip-
tions one at a time, it is easier to force Windows applications to use the new modem
by removing the old modem driver from Windows.
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and 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
modem and ask you to confirm the selection.
