Yes you can. Give the name of modem and model.
Go to start/run and type in msinfo32 click on Components then your modem scroll till you see drivers and it will tell you what driver you need, but there might be several so just tell us the name and model.

I happen to have one for that modem that I hated and took back you want it? lol It's on a CD. Here is where you go to get it but it will send you to Driver Guide to get it. You have to become a member. It's free. Then when you find that one, You put a floppy in the A drive and save to it. But seriously if you can't get it. PM me with your address and I'll snail mail you the one I have since I don't need it.

Three ways. Put the floppy in and then click on my computor/click on A drive/explore and see if there is a setup in there then double click on it. Another way is to go into device manager---right click on my computor/properties/device manager---click on the modem then update drivers. Or you can remove the modem from device manager and when you reboot it will ask you for the drivers--point to the A drive
