Check what file format the modem driver is in.  If it is an .exe or
.zip,
you should probably create a folder on your desktop or in any other
location
where it is easily accessible and then extract it into that folder by
double
clicking on it.  Some of the self extracting files have a function where
it
immediately goes into a program after and performs the installation for
you.
After extracting the file you may want to check if there is a readme
file
attached with instructions.  If the downloaded file is in .inf format,
you
would install the driver by going into the add modem wizard or having
the
computer automatically detect new hardware and then having it point to
that
specific folder.  If your modem still is not working, it is most likely
damaged from the storm (I've seen this happen quite a number of times to
people where the computer still sees the modem is there but it stops
working).
Good luck!

Subject: [PCBUILD] modem driver


After a storm computer can't access internet-states-modem not found.
Suspecting a corrupt driver I downloaded the file but not sure how to
install it.  Any suggestions appreciated!
