Device Manager>Modem will also give you info about the modem and the current drivers.

a big yellow means alot of things. but one thing it means for sure is u have a problem with it. It can either be a hadrware that was NOT installed properly. Or something conflicted with it causing it to stop working. I would suggest uninstalling it and removin it comepletely. and then installing it again. or right click it and troubleshoot it down.. good luck.

The Card works fine it worked good before I formatted the system and added win me I just need to know what kind of card is it and where I may get the drivers, Im also do not have the Driver disk......

Cool

Have you tried Belarc Advisor mentioned in a earlier post? It might work even though you have a problem.

You'll have to pull the modem out of the computer, and look for any identifying marks on it. Ideally, an FCC ID# would be best, but even the numbers off the biggest 2 chips on it would help.
Post what you can find here, someone will identify it, and probably find drivers for you.

FYI, Belarc can only identify what's already installed in the computer. If the modem is not installed, Belarc can't help much.
Another case of using 3rd party software to do what windows already does.
