With every new operating system, some products will need new drivers. You will need to hook up to a different modem to download the proper driver for your modem on Windows 7. You will probably get it from Asus.
In the computer with the modem download the drivers from the internet, copy them to a floppy disk and from the floppy upload them to the computer without the working modem.AnswerOk. I tried saving them to a CD but i don't know how to upload them. When i told the "new hardware wizard" where to find the drivers, drive D, it said i couldn't find them. ???? AnswerMost of the drivers on the net are compressed, get 7ZIP(free) and extract to say c:\Driver\modem then copy this modem folder to a disk or CD. Point the hardware wizard to your copied folder and try again. What this wizard are looking for are the *.inf file so make sure its there.
You can continue with the upgrade. However, you will not have the modem available to the system after the upgrade. You can see if the hardware manufacturer has produced drivers for the modem for windows XP. The HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) isn't always up to date. If you cannot find any drivers your only real option is to buy a new modem if you want to use XP.
You will need to buy a new modem that is designed for your DSL modem. This is due to the fact that the modem is designed to use the dsl signal opposed to the cable modem.
