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

descriptions one at a time, it is easier to force the 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.

Installing the Modem Driver

If you use Windows 95/98/2000 or Windows NT 4.0, you must install the modem

driver. The modem driver is used by Windows to control the modem. If you use

Windows 3.1 or another operating system, skip this step and go to Chapter 3. If you

are using a Linux operating system, see Appendix F.

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, “Troubleshooting.”

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 system CD, and then click Have Disk.

4. In the Install from Disk dialog box, select the drive the system disk is in, and

then click OK.

5. A list of modems appears. Select your modem, 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.
