lucent win modem help please

[darkwingduck]

ok i upgraded my computer, actually im rebuilting it all over, my old computer i purchased from compaq and it came with everything installed. now i got a new motherboard and cpu. i want to use my old modem, but i dont have the drivers nor the sofware that came with my comp. i have a windows xp disc hat i would use to freshly install windows xp on my hard drive. how would i get the lucent win modem drivers or sofware???

[darkwingduck]

anyone????

when u do a fresh install of winXP, it will automatically install the necassary drivers. if not, it will more than likely detect the model of the modem, so lets say the model is 'lucentb3' then you would go to the modem site and look for 'lucentb2' drivers....note*i dont think thats a real model,lol

hope this helped

would it matter if it came from compaq and installed from them?? oh and if i did install the modem on my mobo would i still be able to connect to the net to install the nessassary drivers???

i had to redo a computer too..so tihs is exactly what i did. i took the modem out of an old computer, put it in the new computer, then installed windows, im not sure if windows found the right drivers or not, but if not, use another computer to connect to the internet and download the drivers, then instal the drivers . thats what i did
visit my website please..im getting down in the dump..lol

dont get drivers from compaq..get them from google. type in the driver name into google, and google will more then likely find the thing for ya

yes that is a good point,
you cannot connect if the modem isnt working, therefore you need 2 computers, and can download from he manufactures website

so...your on the internet now right? download the drivers now

i checked out a lap top at my school library and it does have CDrw drive, only a floppy

[darkwingduck]

now it says that the disck isnt formatted i just saved my documents to this disk a week ago and now its says its not formatted, wtf????

[virtualguyex]

the laptop doesnt have a cd burner or doesnt have a cdrw drive? does it ONLY have a floppy drive?...if it only has a floppy drive..right click the flopp drive icon in 'my computer' and press format (make sure the floppy is in the drive first)
