NetComm Modem

XP Doesn't Like The Modem


By jessie25 - usenet poster


I've been trying to install any PCI modem to windows xp and no matter what i
do it just won't install. I tried installing a Netcomm IN5800 56K V.90 Modem
using the drivers supplied on the CD-ROM, but this still comes up as a "PCI
Simple Communications Controller" and then moves some files and then every
time, comes up as a "could not install, the data is invalid." This also
happens when i install another Netcomm Modem as a Lucent Win Modem (It uses
a lucent technologies chipset and worked on my Win98 machine.) and comes up
with the same error. how do i correct this without running into circles? Any
help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I have the same problem Post a new problem

Tomu,

I am not familiar with the Netcomm modems, but a late driver (V8.22) for the
Lucent chipset can be obtained from
http://www.agere.com/support/c lient/modem_dinstruct.html (Agere bought out
that part of Lucent) and if you DL and install the later drivers it should
work. I run one of these Lucent modems in two of my machines without
problem.

It's not about the drivers, XP will just refuse to accept them. It will
always say the "data is invalid" no matter what drivers i load on; official,
ones that are "windows tested" or anything. It will still come up as "PCI
Communications Controller: Data Is Invalid." Also, in the device manager it
shows up as an "Other Device" and "PCI Communications Controller" with a
question mark for an Icon. It says it has no drivers, and when it
uninstalls, it just stays there.
