I am having Fujitsu Siemens Laptop nad WIN XP Home.
I am having an internal modem (Smartlink 56K Internal Modem)
Two Days before I was just browsing the internet and i downloaded the High
Mat CD update in the windows Update. Everthing was just fine and when i tried
to connect to the internet in the afternoon(Dial Up modem) it showed an error
message.
I tried again and again but of no avail. So i thought of
reinstalling the modem. I went to control panel and in the Phone and modem
options i removed the modem.
When i tried to install the modem , the add new hardware wizard was
saying that no new hardware was found.

Plzzzzzzz help me or else i will be in trouble.

Maybe the internal modem has given up the ghost. Have a look
at the Event Recorder. It might also help to cold-boot the machine.
 
Turn the computer off for 10-15 seconds. Then turn it on.

Have a look in device manager and see if it is there. Go to start, run and
type devmgmt.msc . Look for modems. If it is there, delete it and reboot.
If it is working, plug and play should find it and install the drivers.

A cold boot is where you shut down the computer totally and then switch it
on again to re boot it. a warm reboot is where you click on restart and the
system reboots without switching off.
 
there is no modem listed in the Device Manager. only printer,network
card,processor,mouse,......etc are there and also there is no ports listed
there.
please help
 
If it was working, it sounds like it died. If this is a new install or
the after effects of an operating system installation. You need to
install it as per the instruction manual.
