Hi Adi300,
Sorry for the delay.

To install the drivers you have to do it MANUALLY.
Make a New Folder in MY Documents (Rename it so you know what it is)
The easiest way is to Right Click on the Driver>Extract>Browse to the folder you made in My Documents

Once the File is Extracted to the folder you made:

Go to the Device Manager>Right click on the Modem Driver (PCI simple Communiction Device).Update>No not this time>Install from a specific location (Advance)>Include this location in the search>Browse to the folder you made.

Xp should go to that folder and install the drivers.

You need to do this for the Modem and Audio drivers.

so...same thing...s not working...i did exactly as you said...but when i select the folder with extracted driver it says the that the wizard could not find software on my computer ...
i do not know what else to do..

Hi,
Lets try this:
Run the 2 Conexant (Audio/Modem)drivers you downloaded to the desktop.
Install the Audioo driver first

After running the two Conexant packages above, the driver files will be extracted to C:\SWSetup\SPxxxxx.

Open MY Computer
Open C: Drive
You should see a folder that states SWSetup.
This is where your drivers are stored.
SP36090 is your Audio
SP36089 is the Modem

Go to the Device Manager.
Right-click on the 'unknown' audio device> Update Driver.

The Hardware Update wizard will open
Select: No not this time> Next
Select: Install from a specific location (Advanced)>Next.
Select: Don't search I will choose the driver to install>Next.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers> Next.
In the resulting dialogue box, click Have Disk.

Browse to the folder where SP36090 was extracted (C:\SWSetup\SP36090) and select CpV30D5a.inf >OK

In the next dialogue box select Conexant High Definition Audio-Venice 5045. If XP complains ignore it and let it allow to continue installing the drivers.
Reboot the PC

Do the same thing for the modem, except the extraction folder will be C:\SWSetup\SP36089 and the INF is SprtHD5m.inf.


See if this works for you.

Thanks,
Bill

Select: No not this time> Next
Select: Install from a specific location (Advanced)>Next.
Select: Don't search I will choose the driver to install>Next.
