Where can I get drivers for my Rockwell/Conexant HCF or HSF modem for Windows XP, or I am having difficulty installing my modem in Windows XP?
Conexant has worked with Microsoft to ensure that many PCI modems are supported using a generic data/fax driver that is available on the XP distribution CD, therefore in the majority of cases your modem should automatically be detected and the generic driver correctly installed. Run the List Modem application (listmodem_app.zip) found on the Modem Driver Assistance page to find out if your modem is supported in the inbuild driver on WinXP. If the answer to "WinXp Inbuild Support" is yes, then your modem will work after upgrading to WinXP even when you run the compatibility test before upgrading and you get a warning. However the XP distribution CD does not have drivers for Conexant USB modems or modems that interface to the PC using the AC-Link bus. The AC-Link bus is primarily used in notebook PC's and some desktop PC's. In these cases it is necessary to download the correct driver from the manufacturer before upgrading to XP. If you get the message shown below and you have a notebook PC use the links below to obtain XP drivers.
Example XP Error Message:
If you do not have one of these PC's it means that the current driver that you are using in your previous operating system is not compatible with Windows XP, however if you have a PCI modem it is very likely that your modem will be supported by the driver available on the distribution CD and will work when you upgrade to Windows XP, and you should proceed with the upgrade.

Hi,
You can try & proceed to HP website (http://www.hp.com/) and go to the Software & Driver Downloads (left side near the bottom).
You have to determine the specif model/version of your HP computer which might look something like "HP Pavilion 4550Z"
From initial indications you would be looking for an Internal Modem/Sound Card that was originally set for Windows 98SE. Chances are that it is a Conexant or Rockwell SoftK56 Data,Fax PCI Modem, with Master Riptide PCI Audio Device.
Post back should you need additional information. State your PC's model.
Good luck and kind regards.
