Click
on Start button, go to Control
Panel and then double click
Printer and Other Hardware.
Double-click
on Phone and Modem Options.
Click
on the Modem tab at the top
of the window then click on the Add
button. 
Although
Windows XP has the ability to automatically
detect and install your modem, it
sometimes doesn't detect the correct
make and model. Put a check
in the box before Don't detect my
modem; I will select it from a list
and click on Next button.
On
this screen, select your modem manufacturer
and model from the lists.
If your modem does not show up on
the lists you should have
the driver disk that came with your
modem vendor then press the Have
Disk button. Insert the disk
that contains the driver for your
modem into your computer and select
that disk drive. If the driver is
on a floppy disk then select the
A:\ drive. If it is on a CD-ROM
then you probably want to select
the D:\ drive or your CD-ROM drive.
Click
OK after you selected the
correct drive that contains the
modem driver then click on Next.
A driver is a file that tells your
computer how to communicate with
a piece of hardware like a modem
or printer. The modem driver will
end with the .inf file extension.
You might have to look inside the
subfolders of the disk to find the
driver. If you have problems finding
the location of the driver then
please check the manual that came
with the modem.
Select
the port where your modem is connected
to and then click on Next
button. If you are not sure which
port to select then look at the
back of your computer and you should
see either the number 1 or the number
2 above the port. If you are still
not sure then refer to your computer
manual.
Then you
are finished setting up your modem.
Click on the Finish button
to exit.
