Fax modem drivers : Found new Hardware

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

If you manually installed the modem drivers into Xp, Xp may re-detect the
modem on the reboots after that. One possible fix: delete all modem drivers
and reboot. Let XP re-detect the modem and the drivers should be installed
correctly and once.
