Driver for a fax modem on windows 7 - 64x bit

[submix8c]

Did you try what I suggested? Uninstall Driver, set Compatibility on Setup, then run it?

(BTW, I already downloaded the RAR - it has none, the original one from original link is wrong, this DriverGuide one is the one I have).

Don't know if this would work, but you could add the remainder (missing part) of the HWID to the string and maybe attempt an "Update Driver" (keep the original ZIP file just in case).

...and when you say "nothing works", do you mean the Manager lists it the same?

edit - ARGGGHHH! 32-bit drivers on 64-bit OS!!! Yank it out, find the Chip/ChipSet Identifiers (right on the chip/chips) and post them. You may be out of luck (it also has, if that's your photo of the modem, Mic-In/HeadPhone-Out) making it work. Worth a shot searching against the ChipID though - may actually find one to work.

One last thing you can try is turning on "Always install device drivers from Windows Update" and try updating your driver online in the device manager

Full driver package is available here:

ftp://ftp.wsisiz.edu.pl/pub/pc/drivers/modem/cobra_win_95-98.exe

Individual files (for inspection) are here:

http://ftp.slavka.kiev.ua/pub/programs/DRIVERS/MODEM/CONEXANT/56K%20CONEXANT/WIN9X/

I found these by way of searching for the correct INF name (S215DT9.inf) like so:

HOWEVER these will not install in Win7 x64 because these drivers are not only not signed, but they are not even for Windows XP. You can see it is all VXD (the old driver model) and not a CAT file in sight.
