    The yellow flag indicates the device has a problem .....

    First step - in Device Manager right click on the modem > remove/uninstall and reboot. This will allow Windows to detect it again and reload the drivers.

    If it still doesn't work go to Control Panel > Phones and Modems > Modem tab. The modem should be highlighted > Properties > Diagnostics > Query Modem - note results.

    You could try reseating the modem in the motherboard - remove and replace with the computer powered down.

    To identfy the modem download SIW (freeware ) - a standalone program, no install. Run it and go to Devices > Modem - Friendly Name & manufacturer and post the info here. Then we can look for some fresh drivers.

    It is freeware for home users, but will not fit onto a floppy disk - 1.53 Mb download. Can you use a USB pen drive instead?
    Have you done this yet??
