I have reinstalled Windows XP on a computer and now want
to install drivers for the various hardware components. I
want to install a driver for the modem, but when I open
Device Manager I don't see the modem listed, there is a
section called "Network Adapters" and an item called "1394
Net Adapter" what is this, is it the modem?
 
Do you have any items with a question mark highlighted in
yellow? If so, XP didn't identify a device correctly.
right click on those items and delete them. Then try
detecting hardware again. The network adapters would be
a network card, the 1394 would a Firewire device.
