You may want to try pulling the card and putting it into a different pci slot. This will give you a fresh opportunity to reinstall the drivers fresh. Also, where did you get the information as to the type and model of the modem? After pulling it out, I would double check with the manufacturer to make sure you are using the correct drivers. Driver-guide.com is an excellent resource, however, I have found that the manufacturer's websites have the most up to date and problem free drivers available.

Open up the device manager and select the problem device and go to properties. Click on the update driver button/tab. Windows will search for the driver. You may need to point windows in the right direction to find the driver.
I've done this on more than one occasion, myself.
Some driver disks have the driver in the root directory so windows can find it quickly. If it's in a folder, you will have to show the path to windows so it can find it.

Hope this helps.
