u.s. robotics model 3CP5699A
HELLO, I'M TRYING TO INSTALL THIS MODEM UNDER WINDOWS 2000 AND IT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO RECOGNIZE IT. I EVEN WENT TO THE USR WEBSITE FOR UPDATES AND STILL DOES NOT LIKE IT.
ANY TIPS.
THANKS.

you may need to go into control panel and click add hardware, then select the device and then try to force it to take the driver.
I had to do that with my 2976 3com usr

Do you leak any fluids, do you have any bumps on your rear, do you have any unpleasant odors?
If you answered yes to any of these then you are not qualified to own a new AMD ATHLON XP.
If someone ask you if you are running the all-new fastest AMD ATHLON XP, just turn around and reply "WHY YES, AND ITS CERTIFIED"

My experience is that W2K is notorious for randomly working with internal modems. The only consistent solution that I've found (on six different computers) is to switch to an external modem. I've never experienced any problems then.
Sorry...I know this isn't the answer you want to hear... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

generally with USR modems you have to install the drivers BEFORE you install the modem.

I'm just interested, is the os seeing the modem and you can't get the driver to load or is it not seeing the modem period. USR's are sometimes fussy about their drivers, be sure that you are using the right one. Check the numbers on the modem to make sure of what you have (not trying to insult you but darn USR's will sometimes have to be lead to the driver before it can find it and it doesn't always like anything but a certain one). Hope this helps, good luck!

You have a win modem or in other words a software modem. The drivers are probably the right ones, but you need the software program that came with the modem to make it work. Try using the diskettes that came with the modem because I think your problem is not having enough software to make the darn thing work. Software modems are a pain in the you know what. If you purchase a new one, buy a hardware modem like a 3577 (oem) and it will probably work with out any problem. Hope this helps.

Really simple question... IS the modem on the Win 2k compatability list??? Has to be asked... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

In the control panel is there an UNKOWN PCI resource. If so then this may be your modem. Use the update driver button and it point it to the new driver.
