Removing Your Old Modem from Windows

When your new modem replaces another modem, the old modem installation remains in Windows
after you install the new modem, and the old modem is still selected in HyperTerminal and other
Windows applications. Although you can change the application connection descriptions one at a
time, it is easier to force Windows applications to use the new modem by removing the old modem
from Windows.
From Windows 2000
1. Click Start | Settings | Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Phone and Modems icon and click on the Modems tab.
3. In the list box, select the old modem.
4. Click Remove, then click Close.
5. The next time you dial a HyperTerminal connection, it will select your new modem and ask you to
confirm the selection.
From Windows 98/95
1. Click Start | Settings | Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Modems icon to open the Modems Properties sheet.
3. In the list box, select the old modem.
4. Click Remove, then click Close.
5. The next time you dial a HyperTerminal connection, it will select your new modem and ask you to
confirm the selection.
