XP Modem Problem

[mmcgurty]

I installed Windows XP Professional, now everytime I reboot I have to reinstall my US Robotics 56K modem everytime or it will not work. Any ideas?

(1)Is the modem compatible with XP...(2)which drivers are you using?

Not even an issue now, bought a Zoom modem and it works fine. USR will never get my business again, their website is very hard trying to find out information.

OK....that always solves the issue...keep buying new hard ware till one works!!
HAHA

Since US Robotics has not added any SIGNED drivers for there CHEAP modems, about 60% of the older USR modems do not work in XP.every verson of AMR modem i have tested has installed with NO hitch.

I had the same problem click on Control Panel-System-Device Manager- under modems delete the two drivers then reboot your system XP will now see your modem. You must have upgraded.

Yes, I did upgrade...thanks for all the great info. I'll keep these items in mind when I upgrade a few other of the machines I have.

If your modem is ext then open it before booting This may solve the problem. If your modem is internal then you must wait for xp drv from USR. This is because xp rollback drivers that can cause errors after rebooting
