ES> Dear members, ES> I've not been able to fully install an internal or USB ISDN card under ES> Windows XP. It just refuses to complete the installation. So far, I've tried ES> two internal PCI and three external USB modems of different manufacturers, ES> all without any result. Does one of you have any clue on this subject? Or ES> does anyone know where can I put these kind of questions?
ES> Kind regards, ES> Elbert Smit. I'm almost certain that you did it, but did you follow the manufacturer's guidelines during the installation? Installing hardware under XP often is not straight forward and might significantly differ from the procedures for Win98 or even Win2k. The first golden rule in my experience is to let WinXP detect the new hardware and then just point it to the drivers. On the other hand I have also seen hardware were you needed to install the driver first, before you even were supposed to have the hardware in the vicinity of the computer. Normally you should either find detailed descriptions, or a FAQ list or a discussion forum on the manufacturers' homepages.
