if you do not have them on disk,then you will have to d/l them from the manufacturers site or the internet

sweetgirl · 04-14-2006, 01:25 PM

dai · 04-14-2006, 01:45 PM

sweetgirl · 04-14-2006, 02:00 PM

i dont see anything on the board itself but i do see a black chip it says ambient and its got numbers there but cant see them they r very small.

put it back in the computer and in the device manager,go into it's properties and see if it lists it
if not start picking them with apin until you find one that works
rockwell was one of the popular ones

sweetgirl · 04-14-2006, 06:03 PM

its not in the list........im not sure what aspin is sorry but i might be able to get it in the drivers guide i hope any ways.

You can download the demo version of winzip here, you should be able to extract the driver files you need with that.

sweetgirl · 04-14-2006, 06:47 PM

ok but i need to put the winzip on the other computer im working on can i maybe extract the files first on my xp then put them on a floppy disk 4 the other computer? i have no clue

**Doby** · 04-14-2006, 07:02 PM

Hi,

You could burn the winzip exe file to cd then install wizip on the problem computer from the cd.

Then unzip the modem drivers

sweetgirl · 04-14-2006, 07:29 PM

im sorry i cant remember how to burn the winzip files to cd .i have nero burner can some one refresh my memory please. thank you
