About Modem Drivers:
To use an installed modem, your operating system requires the help of modem drivers. Modem drivers are software programs that allow your computer to access and use the installed modem.
Modem Driver errors may occur if:

- Your computer is unable to connect to the Internet, and you receive the following error whenever you try to connect to the Internet: “692 – No Dial Tone”.
- Your computer freezes whenever you try to connect to the Internet using your modem.
- The modem status constantly shows ‘busy’, as a result of which you are unable to connect to the Internet.

Hi.
I had XP and motorola SB5101 modem and my internet worked. Then I installed windows 7 and though modem seems to be ok, computer says it’s not working properly, no matter if I use USB or Ethernet connection, and I can’t access internet now. So, if I download that driver downloader, will it be able to scan for driver updates without internet? If not, can you offer me another solution?
Thank you
