Modem install disaster...
Alrighty, here's the deal. I came home from college and took out my token ring card to replace it with a dial-up modem. I had recently gotten a cheap Diamond MM SupraMax 56k V.92 modem. The system booted and prompted me for the drivers and I supplied the CD. The problem is that it froze up when trying to install the driver software. And now, every time I try to install this modem or my past one (another cheap one. Made by AOpen. 56k v90.) it will do the same thing. Any ideas on what might be going on here? Thanks a bunch guys.
PS - Ya might want some system details to go along with it, eh? Athlon 1.1, 256 MB Corsair PC133, Asus A7V133 (no sound), SB Audigy card, nVidia Geforce2MX, IBM HD... Running WinMe. Yeah, I know its time to re-vamp the system and its happening this summer.

I've done that a hundred times. I even tried rebotting in safe mode and finishing the install of the driver, but that also did no good.

Have you tried removing all of the old modem drivers from the old and new modems in the inf folder and any of its subfolders (and sometimes in the windows or windows/system folder)? Use quickview, etc. to identify the right ones and be careful. Rename them or move them to a temp directory.
Try that, then maybe use regcleaner, then try to restart and hope it prompts for a clean install on the new one when the machine boots?
Hope this helps.
